Is it possible to add a LOCATION LINE parameter to a Revit Schedule?

Is it possible to add a LOCATION LINE parameter to a Revit Schedule?

[Tom_Kunsman]

Is this a custom parameter that you defined, or something that is built into Revit?

If it is a custom parameter, then yes you can add it to a schedule (Project Parameter associated to a specific categories) or perhaps even a Shared Parameter

[vitorbortoncello]

Consider creating a shared parameter named "Location Line" and associating it with the walls category in your project parameters. This allows for the creation of a wall schedule with this information, though some manual entry is still required, you still have to type for specifying the line location.

That's a curious question. Are you talking about Wall Location Line? Why would you want that reported in a Schedule? What value does it provide?

I NEED IT TOO
IT'S HELPFUL WHEN YOU WANT TO CHANGE WALL TYPE TO THE WHOLE PROJECT
AND WANT TO BE SUR THAT IT WILL BE AT THE SAME PLACE
WHY ITS NOT A PARAMETER ON WALL SCHEDULE 

[Mike.FORM]

If you are changing a wall assembly and want to make sure the location line is the same then select the wall --> right click --> select all instances in project --> then update the parameter when all are selected to where you want and then edit the assembly.

This would be your best bet.

THANK YOU
BUT IF THE PROJECT CONTAINS GROUP IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE LOCATION LINE TO THE WHOLE PROJECT THIS WAY
Therefore I WOULD LIKE TO ADD LOCATION LINE TO SCHEDULE

THANK YOU
BUT IF THE PROJECT CONTAIN GROUP IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE LOCATION
LINE TO THE WHOLE PROJECT WITH THIS WEY
SO THAT WAY I WOULD LIKE TO ADD LOCATION LINE TO SCHEDULE

I am asking the same question that @barthbradley asked the OP: What for?

[ayalalead]

If I want to replace a certain wall in the entire project with a wall with a different thickness, if the location line is not in the same place, then the wall will move forward and backward instead of moving everything forward, for example.

@ayalalead 

Technically, to ensure accurate modifications when changing wall types, it is essential to be in the plan view to visually confirm which walls are being updated /selected and that their types are appropriately altered. And to do that, it cannot be more simple than changingt the Location Line in the Properties palette. There is no logical advantage to switching to a schedule view for changing the location line when the plan view provides a clear visual context that helps in accurately identifying and modifying the walls.

However, if there is a need to retain the original state of the Location Line parameter as a backup, it is understandable since it may for one reason or the other allow for the restoration of the original Location Line after editing the wall types. This is doable by writting the value of the Location Line to a text field in the schedule. If you wish to receive more help on this, you can start a new discussion, my guess the OP has given up on this one if not on Revit entirely
