Applying Parameters to Model groups

[Anonymous]

I am interested in applying some information (ideally by parameters) to model groups objects.

I found a Building Coder blog post on this from 2009, called "Model Group Shared Parameter" which seems to describe a method.

Since this is pretty old, and seems to involve a few 'workarounds' (e.g getting the modelgroup category), I am wondering:

Is there anything new on this, or should I be ok following this methodology?

Do you want to assign parameters values of the group or assign them to the elements which consist the group?

Dear Abba Lustgarten,

Please accept our sincerer apology for the delay! We had a backlog in the queue.

Yes, the page is very old and some API was removed in new Revit API, but you can refer to page below on the code upgrade against latest Revit API: http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2016/05/the-building-coder-samples-2017.html

For your convenience, the updated code is available from code depot below, you can refer to CmdCreateSharedParams.cs under it:https://github.com/jeremytammik/the_building_coder_samples
