Hi all,
As the title I would like to give unique element mark to structural elements e.g. Structural columns.
They might differ by not only family and type, but by corbel elevation, corbel dimentions, embeded plates elevation an dimentions ....
I actually use schedule, sorting by type,then sort by main dimentions and volume, but sometimes there are so many variants it is impossible to give uniqie mark.
My question is if you have any tip or trick to mark element uniquely.
That why God invented Shared Parameters. Or was it Autodesk? Anyways, Shared Parameters sounds like the answer to your prayers
What is this mark being used for?
The mark is used for Tag elements in views plus scheduling elements of same category for bills of quantity. Futhermore i prefer use mark for filtering the exact elements i want to.
For those reason i would like to give unique marks to elements.
Do these unique marks have any meaning other than for identification purposes?
Identification puroses connected to element e.g. Strucural column MARK= C1 ...
Sounds to me like you need to 'generate' your mark for every column?
I would suggest using Dynamo for this, but maybe some feature that is in Revit that I'm overlooking at this moment...
Just make a list in there, sorted by whatever parameter you want, filter out some you don't need etc. and then just write that into the 'mark' parameter.
You got the point indeed.
I am trying to schedule and use sorting and grouping comand in order to give same mark to exact same elements.
Unfortunatelly the variables are soo numerous that doing such a work within the schedules is enormous.

If you are going to have the same value for identical elemnts, they are not unique.
Personally, I would not use the Mark parameter and instead use my own parameter but that's just me. If you want the same ID for identical elements, I think something like a type mark would be more appropriate.
Type mark can be a solution for family with limited type parameter.
Unfortunatelly structural column family with corbels has a lot of Instance parameter e.g. corbel dimentions,elevations..
Not workable for me.
