How many type of parameter & how to load parameter in to revit family

[Anonymous]

- I've already know about parameter and share parameter, and can use it in revit family also. But there are some parameter i don't know how to use it as project parameter. How can i call project parameter in revit family?

- Same with parameter "Scale". What kind of this parameter? how can i call this type of parameter  in revit family?

Thanks

Welcome to the Community:)

Project parameters, the name itself contains "Project" meaning they are applied in the Project environment. You cannot transfer or load these parameters in Revit families. 

If you want the same parameters in Families and Project use Shared Parameters.

What do you mean by : "How can i call project parameter in revit family?"

Are you referring to the Element's Property Parameters that you see in the Project than Revit assigns? for instance, Window "Sill Height" and "Head Height"?  All those Project Parameters can be "called" into a Project Schedule.

- What are some parameters?  Be specific.

- Scale only available for View Title family and Sheet Titleblock family

And frankly, I wouldn't ask questions starting the sentence with "I already know".

Thank you,

So we can't use project parameter in formula in revit family right? 

what about "scale" parameter? i see it appear in plan properties and sheet but i don't know how to use it to calculate in formula in revit family?

For example, I use annotation to indicate equipment on floor plan. When i change scale, annotation will get bigger or smaller. If i can use "scale" parameter in formula, i can keep annotation same between different scale.

 Thanks for answer me.

I mean "call parameter" is use a parameter in formula in reviet family.

I don't know how to use some parameter like parameter in project parameter, in sheet ("scale" for example). I want to use them in formula in family.

"Scale"? As in "View Scale"? I can "call" it as a numeric or integer characteristic of a population in a Schedule via a Calculated Parameter.  Is that what you mean?

Hi

As far as I understand, the problem you are facing is to use "Scale "of the View placed on the sheet..

and use that "Scale Parameter " "Ex 1:100 " to use it in some calculation / equation / etc..

To solve this, there are two types of model / elements in Revit.

1. First which scales as per view scale automatically, ex  Few types of annotation ( 2d), all model elements

shows as per scale.. and you dont need scale parameter to get the graphics / sizes correct in this case...

2. If you are using "Symbols "and trying to scale them as per different views, then its not possible..

cause Symbols, Text are constant in sizes, no matter whats the scale of the view ( ex plan, elevation , section, ) 

the final 1:1 print, or sheet will give actual size.. Ex: '6mm text will show 6mm even if you change the scale of the view..

So you have to decide whether to use 2D annotation, or 3D elements which adjusts automatically as per scale, 

and second option is "Symbols" "Text"which do not scale and stays constant...with varying scale..

Have a go.

Best luck
