Dimension parameters in multi-category schedule for doors and windows

[jjaramilloDS7WU]

Hello everyone

I am trying to show the dimensions of height and width for doors and windows in the same schedule. What I have been doing is creating a Multi-Category schedule where I can filter the doors and windows with a parameter I created. But when I insert the parameters of height and width in the schedule, they appear in blank. On the other hand, when creating the doors and windows schedules separately, the values of height and width do appear.

Does anyone know why in the Multi-Category schedule these parameters appear in blank? 

I have been working with the schedules separately for quantity take off, but it would be easier for me to have the height and width of doors and windows in the same schedule as there is a budget item associated with those dimensions in most projects I work in. 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Add Shared_Height and Shared_Width shared parameters to door and window
families. Give them formula:
Shared_Height = Height
Shared_Width = Width
Then add these shared parameters to your multi-category schedule.

@ToanDN it worked, just had to save it as a different family so it didn't affect the system family. Thanks!

You don't have to create a shared parameter?
