Creating Parameters under user defined Group

[Zeeshan_Abbasi]

Hi, I am working on developing a Bridge Information Model in which I have to develop a database for incorporating all the bridge related information including its deterioration data and inspection records. I want to create project/shared parameters that can be grouped under my own group names ( not the groups that are pre-defined in Revit ). Please guide me how to do this. I have seen a research paper that has done the same thing, which means that it is possible to have user defined groups but how that's the question. I have attached the screenshot of the parameters and group names. You can also access the paper through the following link below. Just go directly to page number 11.

The DefinitionGroups Create method enables you to create new shared parameter definition groups:

@jeremy_tammikyou are well aware that this is not what he is asking for.

[jeremy_tammik]

Oh! Oh?

What would you suggest, please?

[MarryTookMyCoffe]

In paper he provide they somehow made a Group parameter that is shown in Properties, maybe they did custom window, but giving information that go nowhere, in bird culture we call it "a dick move".

Creating group in shared parameters don't add a group parameters(checked in Revit 2024), I wish that this would be possible.

Hi @MarryTookMyCoffe 

Question and image was posted (and answered) before by same user I believe.

If you inspect the image you can clearly see it was manipulated.

It's propably some documentation of a company/department of a group of properties and how they relate and have nothing to do with Revit's API.

Yes, I posted this before in Architect forum where I was told that it is not possible using the Revit built-in interface. So I decided to try my luck in Revit API Forum. I thought may be it could be done using Revit API.

Haha. Often, I point API queries towards the UI forum and tell people that the API very seldom supports any functionality not provided by the UI. The API is mostly a wrapper around UI functionality.
