Custom properties

[prakash.muthu]

Hi,

Looking for custom file properties similar to iProperties in Inventor or DWGProps in AutoCAD. Need to update some custom metadata to Revit file. Is there any option or api for this?

Yes. The main two approaches are to use shared parameters or extensible storage. The former can be used and displayed in the end user interface, and the API for that was added as an afterthought. The latter is only accessible through the API and has no UI at all. Here is a host of information on the latter:
