Family Parameter Type and default values given

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi everyone,

I am creating a Generic Family with some columns and beams inside. For it I'm generating some Family Type Parameters that will define each profile. Also I would like to create some tags with the values of these parameters to assign automatically the sections in the project.

Till here everything is working, but I have some problem with what is appearing in the tag. By default the value given by the parameter is a concatenation of the "family name : family type" and I would like to have in the tag only the "family type".

 

Is there any way to change the default value given by the family type parameter to show just the family type (circle in red in the image below) or even to create a tag to get only the family type of the sections? 

 

Thanks!Capture.PNG

Family Name and Type Name are two different parameters. You can show both or one in tag.  

 

...also, if the beams and columns inside the Generic Family are nested and shared, you can tag them separately in Project as well.  TAB-Select.
