Concatenation of Parameters within a Family

[Anonymous]

Morning/Afternoon All

I have a number if families, which have "IF" Functions to trigger the Lookup Tables. I've seen on here a number of threads regarding concatenation, is the available?

I would like to create a lookup string based on a parameter for instance:

Concatenate("This is the Start of the String", Parameter A, "This is the end of the String")

Example:

Concatenate("MechanicalFittingFlangeCollarType", Type,"BSEN1092") Where Type = 33.

Result: "MechanicalFittingFlangeCollarType33BSEN1092"

You can nest a generic annotation family that has a label driven by multiple parameters of the parent family.

@Ilic.Andrej unfortunately this wont work as I am trying to gain a string that will identify a look up table from the parameters.

It is not available -- but it is one of the top ten thread topics in my estimation. I think you might even come across one I posted years ago.

@barthbradley Yes I've seen it here a number of times but never managed to see the resolve. Making a long winded IF Function it a bit cumbersome, when it could be done by concatenation of a couple of text strings and a Parameter.

@autodesk @revit Any chance this is on the Roadmap for Improvements

Best way is to go to the Revit Ideas forum and give for support to an existing idea.
