addparameter without forgetypeid

[ivo.lafeber]

Dear all,

I get a message about the ParameterType which is deprecated in Revit 2022 and may be removed in later versions.

in the addparameter function there is still the option which accepts ParameterType, but there is no option which accepts a ForgeTypeId, does anybody know why that is ?

Dear @ivo.lafeber,
you can use   addparameter function with ForgeTypeId arg only if you are using RevitAPI.dll of Revit 2022,
but I can notice that u have the 6 overloads of the function which means you can use ForgeTypeId !

Not only the ParameterType has to be changed to ForgeTypeId, but also the BuiltInParameterGroup 🙂

[ivo.lafeber]

In a family a parameter can be added to a group called "other", in the api it is the BuiltInParameterGroup. Invalid.

Group Invalid cannot be found in GroupTypeId, also Other cannot be found, which ForgeTypeId is the "Other" group?

the error which occurs

[Omar_Amen]

Are you getting the same error with different BuiltInParameterGroups or it's be only with the .INVALID one ?

[ivo.lafeber]

for now only with the INVALID one, I've not (jet) tested all the groups.

Hi Ivo,

You can use the following code

C#:
doc.FamilyManager.AddParameter("paraName",new ForgeTypeId(),SpecTypeId.Number,true)

python

doc.FamilyManager.AddParameter("paraName",ForgeTypeId(),SpecTypeId.Number,True)

Did you try to use in C#

new ForgeTypeId(string.Empty)

 This stands for the Other group
