Apply a Label (Type parameter) on a Sweep's profile inside a Family File.

[Caed9]

I was trying to Label a profile on a Solid Sweep from a Shared Family, But there is no option. 

My Idea was to create a Type parameter and associate it to the Sweep's profile, in order to load all the different profile families into the Revit RVT project instead of overloading them inside the Shared family RFA file. That way one can change the type parameter of the profle directly in the Revit Project RVT File. As it is a shared family and all the desired profiles will be loaoded directly on the whole RVT file, so the Shared family can pick them with the Type paremeter.

I could not find that option in Revit Family editor. I found a post from someone trying to do so in a family Modeled-in-place on a Revit RVT Project file, but I just want to know if it still impossible inside a Family RFA file?

Thanks in advance

Honestly, I'm getting winded just thinking about how that would work.  So, the purpose of this exercise is to simplify your life by eliminating the arduous task of loading a bunch of individual Profile Families into the Project?  If so, maybe the easier route would be to put all the individual Profile Families into your Project Template (RTE).  No?

The profile list is only exposed when you select the sweep element.  In the family environment, you select the actual sweep, but in the project environment, you select the family itself, not the sweep. 

A sweep is selected in the family environment:

A family is selected in project environment.

For in-place models, or system components such as wall sweep and the likes, you can change profile in the project by selecting the sweep (when editing the in-place), or the wall sweep...

A workaround is using Adaptive family with nested Generic Models for profiles.
