Hi
I am trying to create a family with some parameter values set by a lookup table. I have tried using text to search the right value inside the table and it works nicely, the same as numeric parameters. However, when trying to search the value by a family type parameter, i can read the message of inconsistent units. I dont know if someone has tried this before or even if it is possible (in hte Revit help i can read that these parameter can be used too as para_name##other##). i would be grateful if someone could help me.
Thanks

Family type parameters can be added to Type Catalogs. But you're trying to add it to Lookup Tables.
Lookup Tables are for numeric values, for example, diameters of pipes.
That is odd!!! maybe I am missing out on something here, but I was working on something similar earlier today as a favor for someone on this forum

#1. Do we need that excel to get the value after loaded and saved to project
#2. Can u share the excel
It is not an excel it is a .csv (a comma delimited text file) which I assigned to open in Excel for easy editing...no secret or special recipe in it except the format of the Value being fetched...I didn't come up with that myself, you can refer to the below Autodesk Knowledge base article ...I simply used it as intended
