Instance parameters in schedules

[NP---MD]

Hello, 

I have an assembly of curtain walls and curtain wall panels. There are a bunch of different curtain wall panel families. These families have a combination of type and instance parameters. The problem I now have is that I need to isolate and group every single unique family in this model. Basically I need Revit to differentiate between families of the same type who's instance param's vary in a schedule. Is this possible? Otherwise I'll need to embark on a process of converting all the instance param's back into to type param's and create many many more types in the model - something I'd love to avoid if possible! 

Massively appreciate any help here!

Are you using shared parameters?

Ah, I'm not! I'll look into the implicaitons of switching to these! Many thanks for the pointer!

You can use View Filter. (Ex: make all panels which meet a certain criteria invisible - keeping the ones you want to isolate Visible) SEE LINK HERE

If the parameters you are referring to are the Curtain wall OOTB Type & Instance parameter then you shouldn't need any new parameters...Otherwise project parameters should do. (Shared Parameters would be useful in case of tagging)
