Shared Parameter Converter - Revit 2018

GRDS_ARCH — Thu, 27 Jul 2017 13:41:55 GMT

Can someone confirm whether or not the Shared Parameter Converter tool is still included with Revit 2018? I have the latest Revit extensions installed and where it showed up on previous releases it is no longer there. This was definitely a valuable, time-saving tool and I hope it is still included for subscription customers. Any response will be appreciated.

Just checked. Doesn't appear so. But we just installed it last week and aren't officially using it yet, so perhaps it's not included in initial install. Have you checked your account for 2018 enhancements available to you?

Yes - I did check there. It's usually included/installs with Revit extensions, but not this time. Just curious to know if its no longer available and if not, what's the next best free tool to perform this tasks?

@GRDS_ARCH thank you for pointing this out - I don't see it on mine either. Will have to make the appropriate noises for it......

You're right. I'm not really understanding why that extremely useful tool would be removed without a comparable and free replacement.

Follow the money. It's probably sitting on the shelf right now, ready to be sold as an add-on. They are mimicking the Healthcare business model.
