parameter for family type count

i have a window tag that is a type parameter and i would like to include another parameter that shows the total count of that family type in the project. i am not sure what the category parameter i should create to add to this tag so that i will see the the window type designation letter and the count of that window type in the model.

Use a Shared Parameter and use Dynamo to count/add all Families of type X and write that value to the shared parameter

wondering how that shared parameter should be built i.e. label-category parameter (which should I choose from or build a new one)?

@jledgewood409 

A shared parameter is a shared parameter, you can use it in a schedule, in a tag, in a family which you ant to schedule or tag...

 

Step 1:

Manage >> Shared Parameter > New Parameter (MyNewSharedParameter_Number)

Step 2: 

manage >> Project parameter>>Add (and add the above to the categories where u want to use it ...example doors)

Step 3:

use  dynamo to look up and  create a list of all doors of one type >> count/add >> set parameter by name and records the value in the shared parameter you have created above

Step 4:

Edit your tag or create a new custom one adding the shared parameter 

Step 5:

Tag Doors and you will have the total count of that type

Step 6:

Dynamo is not live, therefore whenever you add new doors you have to re-run the graph

You could also (just?) place a schedule with clear format returning the numbers, that would be live...

Do you want to repeat the count in every window tag?  Do you want to reprint every sheet that has a window tag every time the window quantity is changed?  What if you miss a sheet and a tag on that old sheet shows 100 windows instead of the updated 80 windows, then the contractor hold you responsible to the cost of 20 windows?

 

Why not simply use a window schedule to count?

More like a man asking how to hurt himself, there can be answers instructing him to hurt himself properly, and there can be answer telling him not doing that.

... maybe also using a key schedule for this window type

Or maybe he is a man who is up for the challenge and wants to take a step further beyond Revit... You ought to encourage him rather than discourage :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht:

this tag is going to be used in the "WINDOW TYPE ELEVATIONS".  so right below the window elevation will be the window type mark followed by the count of said type (type mark).

Use a schedule to count and format its appearance to show only the count. Then place it on sheet where the tag is.

I am calling Autodesk's Development team to prioritize the Idea of adding COUNT parameter to Window/Door Tags ASAP :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht: before this post ends up a 4 pages discussion :Gesicht_mit_Freudentränen: schedule vs tag
