I don't know either of these groups so continue to do your research.

This is the session where I shared about the Dynamo that helps load our family parameters into our families for adoption into our library.

Highly recommended if you have a situation where you have to add certain shared parameters repeatedly. Gavin's video does a good job of explaining how it all works.
I have an ongoing project (who has time to finish anything?) to make it easier to get all of my firm's Door parameters into a Door family, so that when we need to make use of a manufacturer's Door family for specialty Doors where we do not already have a family, we can do so and still have it work with our Door Schedule. There are a lot of parameters, and doing so manually is quite tedious.
I did have issues getting the Orchid package Parameter.AddSharedParameter node to deal with parameters that I wanted to group under different headings. I worked around that by splitting up my source file into multiple files, each of which only has parameters that go under a single heading, and then processing each file separately.
The Dynamo graphs work well. The part that remains to be done on my project is to properly document how our Door Schedule system works, how to proceed for different types of Doors (Glazed Doors and Multi-Leaf Doors have additional parameters to be added) and what formula to enter for parameters that have require one. I will get right on that the next time I have any "free time."
GLad to hear you got something from my presentations. You are right, the Orchid is one that has to be download different than others. Then you have to argue with it sometimes.
Thanks for the comment here!

Michael, with his Shared Parameter problem, reached out and asked about the visibility of the Share Parameter, when would you turn it off. I found a video by Aussie BIM Guru @gavin.crump that showed well when you might want to hide a parameter.

Hiding formulas would be great but most of my formulas are with Family Parameters not Shared Parameters but nice to see how to use Visibility in Shared Parameters.
