Fire rating parameter for column

[lukearh]

Hello,

How can I add a Fire Rating parameter for structural columns in Revit 2024, that can be tagged and works with filters?

[azad.Nanva]

you can use the shared parameter for tag and project columns.if you have old one for wall , doors ,etc you can add column in categories  too.

Can you please elaborate a bit on the procedure?

You create a shared parameter for your fire rating. The parameter type depends on what you intend to do. I use text. 

then you make that shared parameter to be a project parameter and assign that to all categories you want (architectural and structural columns, windows, doors, floors...). 

Edit: I use instance for walls etc. A specific CMU wall can be rated, or not rated depending on the location. But you also can use  "type" . But then you need to create more wall types. Same for columns etc.

Add that shared parameter to tags for columns, floors etc. 

Using a shared parameter first, instead of just creating a project parameter outright, enables you to use it in tags and schedules.

in the wall for example we have fire rating parameterr but this Built-in parameter and Type parameter and you can not share it with another element "Str Columns" in this case:

so i make my parameter over fire rating that can be used for all elements or You can create a special parameter for the columns in the same way:
