Parameter group changes when importing to Revit

Hello,
we have a problem when importing a Revit Family to our Template. We have created a Family, that when we import it to our Template, its Parameters (shared) are relocated in a different Parameter group, to the one defined in the Family. In the Template, we do not have this Parameter as a Project Parameter, because it only works within this Revit Family, and not in the whole Category. But when we import it to another Template (Autodesk) it does not change the Parametergroup.
It is clear to me that it is related to our Template, but does anyone know how can I solve this problem?

 

Thanks

This sounds as if you are not doing anything programmatically yourself.

 

In that case, unfortunately, this is not the best place to ask such a question.

 

Please note that this discussion forum is dedicated to programming Revit using the Revit API.

 

Therefore, you cannot expect an answer to a question such as yours relating to product usage or end user support issues here.

 

You should try one of the non-API Revit product support discussion forums instead for that:

 

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/this-forum-is-for-revit-api-programming-questions-not...

 

The people there are much better equipped to answer your question than us programming nerds.

 

I hope this clarifies.

 

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

 

Best regards,

 

Jeremy

The parameter(definition) is already present in your template, assigned to the other parametergroup. The parameter was loaded as a Project Parameter and/or as a parameter loaded in a family.

Luckily the parametergroup is the only thing you can change for a shared parameter loaded into a template/project.

For that you need the shared parameter as a project parameter. 

Modify (if parameter is already defined as project parameter ) or Add as a project parameter .

In the properties choose the desired group, and press OK.

After accepting the project parameter, you can remove it from the project, the shared parameter will remain in the new Parameter Group..
