Report in Schedule/Quantities which family parameter I checked

[Anonymous]

I have created a family with inside various Yes/no parameter, and I want to ask if it is possible to report in the schedule (Image) which parameter i have selected. (for example one Fondation will have a beam HEM240, another one HEB200 and so on...)

Those yes/no parameters need to be shared parameters. Shared parameters are available in schedules. Then, you need to convert yes/no values to text values by creating a calculated parameter and assigning this formula:

if(HEB200,
    "HEB200",
    if(HEB220,
        "HEB220",
        if(HEB240,
            "HEB240",
            if(HEB260,
                "HEB260",
                if(HEM240,
                    "HEM240",
                    " "
                )
            )
        )
    )
)
                

The condensed formula (copy it to Revit):

if(HEB200,"HEB200",if(HEB220,"HEB220",if(HEB240,"HEB240",if(HEB260,"HEB260",if(HEM240,"HEM240"," ")))))

If you don't know about shared params, I ll make you a screencast.

thank you...but I didn't catch the work behind those shared parameters..never used them, if you can do a screencast would be great

yes, very clear

thank you very much again
