I have added a value to my door schedule which will report 2 different dimensions depending if its a blockwork wall or stud(yes/no parameter). Problem is i need a different set of values if its a 2', 2,.3", 2,'6", 2,'9" door type. When i input a set of numbers for one type it changes it for all. I have set the parameter to an instance type so i don't get why this has happened. any ideas?

Once you write a formula, the formula has the same effect in all the types of the family.
You need:
1) a new type length parameter, such as "Structural Opening_Blockwork",
2) a new type length parameter, such as "Structural Opening_Studs"
3) a change in the "Structural Opening" parameter: make it Type.
4) a change in the formula for "Structural Opening", like this:
if (Blockwork, Structural Opening_Blockwork", Structural Opening_Studs")
If your value depends on the family type you choose why make it an instance parameter?
Make it a family type parameter and set it to the desired value of each family type.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
Ok i did what you suggested but now i just get a text report?, i need the parameters to be instant as the family types might be in 2 conditions at the same type.
The "Structural Opening" parameter must be length, and type. Not text, not instance.
The other two parameters must be type, not instance.
...and remove the quotes (") from the names of the parameters in the formula.
It should be length, not text.
In post # 2 above, I realize now that I put some quotes at the end of the names of the parameters. That was a mistake, please ignore those quotes.
Ok thank you but are you saying i cannot do an instant version? if so i need to rethink
Toan can you confirm with the above formula, will i need to delete out the door types? If i set the numbers for a 2'3" door the values stay the same for all family types?, if so i need to have individual doors? Thanks Ross

No. You don't have to delete the door types.
Let's say you have the door type 1 (3'x7') and you insert two in a framed wall and another in a block wall, the formula will give the two in the framed wall the same value and the one in the block wall a different value. Similarly, if you insert the doors type 2 (4'x8'), the formula with match the lintel size with the door size + the wall type (block vs framed).
Can someone help me finish this formula please, I have all the parameters sorted, i cant get the formula right. So if the Blockwork wall is ticked(yes/no para) i want to look at the structural blockwork opening and if its not ticked i want it to look at the structural studwork value. Then i want this to report in strutural opening, my crux is I dont know how to get it to report the value from a parameter.
Annoyingly it will report the value if there is no formula (see below)but as soon as i add an IF formula its says inconsistent units because its trying to report a text formula in a value one
Please read carefully previous posts in this thread. Seems that the thread is going back to topics that were already explained above.
