Adding parameters to selected elements

[jordanmarr]

I need to add a custom parameter to all currently selected elements.  Is this possible?

Update:

I may have found a workable solution, which is to create a new shared parameter and bind it to my target types, as in the "BeamAndSlabNewParameter" example project.

This may suffice, although I envisioned adding it only to specific element instances, and not to all elements of a certain type.

I am very new to Revit, and I am learning it via code first (unfortunately); so maybe the way I originally imaged is not possible, and this is the best solution?

There is also function Application::NewInstanceBinding(CategorySet) which can be used to bind certain shared parameter to instances. But as you can see, this can be only used by category, not with specific element(s). I'm not sure, but I doubt the possibility to add parameter just for arbitary elements.

Ok, thanks!
