I have a nested family which is associated with a "family type" category parameter. So basically I can switch out the nested family with other families or types. I would like the value of this parameter to be used to control other parameters.
I cannot figure out how to reference the value of the family type parameter in equations so that revit will recognize it. Does anyone know what syntax I am supposed to use in this instance?
Here is a video showing it better:

You can't, unfortunately.
Lots of people bringing up shortcomings with the parameter system today. Listening, Autodesk?
I was afraid that was the answer! I wish they would make some changes to the family editor. 2025 was a good step in the right direction with the adjustment to arrays, but we could really use a drop down parameter, radio buttons, and for heaven sake, let us sort parameters by dragging!
@mhiserZFHXS I have a good friend who is also a family making pro, I posed the question to him at the same time I posted here.
This is his response which is a great work around:
