REVIT Creating a formula that interacts with multiple yes/no parameter (2016)

[Anonymous]

I am creating a cabinet and I am wondering if there is a formula for the following issue: Is there a formula the would turn off multiple Pull/Handle options if one pull is selected (as a instance parameter)? I don't want to have to uncheck the other pulls if one is selected. I really could use some help on this I've done a lot of research and haven't been able to find an answer. Any help is appreciated, the family is attached below.

Didn't mean to have two posts but it wasn't showing up so I posted it again and I guess it double posted.

Still having troubles with the pull option I was told to do a "no" statement by an architect, does this sound right?

It doesn't really make sense to me what is meant by "Make a no statement?" I am not aware of at No statements in Revit.

There is a NOT which you can use to set 2 yes/no to be opposite to each other ie: parameter1 and parameter2 are yes/no and you set parameter1= NOT(parameter2) then whenever parameter1 is checked, parameter2 will be unchecked BUT that won't work when you have more that 2 yes/no that are interdependent. That's where you will need IF statement IF/AND, IF/OR 

nontheless, to do all that you will need to add more parameters to the nested handles families (text parameters for example) which you can use to drive the formulas. The reason for that...if you have more nested families to select from, you can't use the <family type> parameter/selector directly in the formulas controlling other parameters.

Have a look at the following thread which discuss the same topic <family type> selection in a formula.

Probably means a 'Not' statement but I'm not sure that's what you want.

Lets say you have 4 yes/no parameters for Handle1, Sign1, Kickplate1 and LockType1.  If you have a 'master' yes/no parameter, say called 'Type1' you add Type1 to the formula field for Handle1 etc.  They will then get greyed out and their status will be the same as Type1 - so if you tick this off, all the others will tick off as well... 

Sorry I can't produce a screencast for you as I'm away from my computer just now.

Thank you so much I've been working on this forever! Such a huge help you deserve a thousand Kudo's. It took me a while to get what you where trying to say and that's mainly because I'm not proficient with Revit, so thanks for being patient!
