Family Instance Parameter (Image)

Hello,

I'm not sure how this works. I have a family that I created a Family Instance parameter of type image. The family is the Generic Annotation. I have additional Generic Annotation families that I have created for various symbols. However, my other symbols, I cannot do this. The Image type does not appear in the drop down. I have attached two families. The first family LAKE, has the instance image parameter. The other, CREEK does not. I am using Revit 2020.

Please let me know what the difference is.

Thank you,

Carol

Only difference I see, is that the Parameters are Type Parameters in one, and an Instance Parameters in the other.

I'm not clear what the issue is though.  Can you restate?

Haha, yes, I know that. I'm asking how that can be. I don't know what I did to create the LAKE family so that I could have an instance image parameter. Now, anytime I try to modify one of my other symbol families or create a new one based on the Generic Annotation template, I cannot create an instance parameter of type image.

I'm currently just doing a SAVE AS on the LAKE family and then editing it.

You created the Instance Image parameter from a schedule in the project.  When you edit the family and save, that instance parameter comes with it.

Thank you! that was so hard for me to figure out.

Hi! Sorry to bother you 2 years later but I've read your explanation 50 times and still didn't understand what you've meant. I've tried placing a schedule with an image parameter in the family but it didn't work. Can you please describe in more detail. Thank you.

Hi Gabi,

I'm sorry I don't really remember. When I read the solution, it sounds like the family was created, loaded into the project. Then a schedule was created for that family and a instance parameter added there to hold the image. I haven't looked at that project for quite some time.

Regards,

Carol

The Schedule is created in the Project. The Image doesn't appear until you place the Schedule on a Sheet.

I've just used the original family from the beginning of the discussion (LAKE family) for a shortcut and i don't think i'm on the right path for solving my problem.

 

My main task is use a text parameter for the sheets, that contains specific URLs for every drawing/sheet on an online folder and then use QRimage package from Dynamo to populate an image parameter for the sheets. After that i thought i could use a general annotation with an image instance parameter. But i don't think this is the right direction because i cannot display the image instance parameter in the general annotation.

 

Any other solutions you recommend?

Thank you.
