Save value to model

[Anonymous]

Are there any paremeters available through the API similar to the Autocad system variable USERI1? I need to save a value to the model that I can check. Thanks.

I'm working throught the Lab4_4_1_PerDocParams per this post...

Defining a New Parameter

But it's outdated. Is there a more recent example? Thanks.

Revit has the Extensible Storage API to support storing user's data in a model. It is quite a powerful API. You should check it out in the SDK. I believe there are samples too.

I'll look into that. But for the time being, since I only needed to store one value, I used BuiltInCategory.OST_ProjectInformation.

You asked for the way of storing a user’s values in a Revit model, hence my answer. If you do not actually need it, that’s ok. Using shared parameters is fine as long as you are OK with the limitations of that technique.
