Error message: Parameter cannot be added to the family

Anonymous

I am receiving the following very annoying message when creating an edit in place void which cuts a system wall.

 

Firstly I create a wall and I then assign a global Revit parameter to the Top Offset.

Secondly, I create a edit in place Void geometry which cuts the wall element.

When I finish editing the edit in place element, I receive the message below.

03-Parameter cannot be added to the family.jpg

 

Weirdly, when I assign the parameter after creating the void I do not get any error message.

 

I trust, this is a Revit bug.

 

Would it be possible to share any ideas why what is causing this?

 

Many thanks in advance.

I am getting the same issue if you use in-place family. same issue.png

 

However if I use wall opening, it works.

Did someone mention "BUG"?  I love finding BUGS!  Bummer is, I seldom do -- including this time.  I can't seem to replicate what you two have discovered. Maybe my workflow is flawed.  Can one of you lead me through the steps to replicate the "BUG"?  Thanks in advance.

I could replicate it but it seems to be an issue in Revit 2020, works with Revit 2021 though...

I don't trust any claims of bugs. They need to be proven. You might have one here but I still don't trust them.

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