Batch adding shared parameter to Revit Families?

Hi - I've been searching for a tool where i can batch add one or more shared parameters from .txt to families.
I haven't been able to find anything that works with Revit 2017.
"Revit extensions" used to have this feature - But not any more.

 

I will need to add one parameter to all of our furniture, speciality equipment, plumbing fixtures + a few more categories.

It is important that the shared parameter is "nested" within the family it self. So simply adding the shared parameter to the project for the specific categories is not going to work for me.

Thanks in advance!
- Christian

See THIS post with advice for (paid) add-ins.

You also could try to use Dynamo. HERE a starting point for that

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

Input appriciated.
I do think the solution will be Dynamo - It is nice starting point, indeed - but the post is about shared project parameters. Not shared parameters to families as intended.

Thanks - But unfortunatly that plugin is no longer working. It was discontinued back in 2015/2016 if i remember correctly.
This is actually the exact program/plugin i'm trying to replace and the reason i made this topic.

RF Tools might have something for this.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.
