Hello fellow Revit Users,
I'm currently trying to improve and simplify the BIM library and workflow of my company. For this we thought about a system which doesnt need highly detailed families but rather the included information. So we work with dummy windows for example. It is a simple plane which cuts holes in the wall. What we are trying to achieve is that we have yes/no parameters for the different categories a window can have. For example if it has only a single casement we check the yes/no parameter "_C1". And so on and so on for every kind of construction a window can have.
The last and most important thing we want is a text parameter, which adds those "_C1", "_C2", etc., based on the checked yes/no parameters.
If parameters "_C1" to e.g. "_C10" are YES, but "_C5" is NO, the text should look like this:
_C1_C2_C3_C4_C6_C7_C8_C9_C10
So far I haven't found any solutions for this in the forums and I am pretty new to this kind of parameters in families and I will be happy for every kind of step I can make, based on your answers.
with kind regards
SH
If you want to use a formula to compose for every condition then you will end up with a page long string. Take a look at the Revit formula link in my signature if you want to go that route.
I would recommend creating one text parameter per each y/n box, if box checked then the parameter show the text, if not then blank, and use combined parameters in a schedule to get them into one, or use a combined label if you need a window tag.
Thanks alot for the warning. I had a feeling this string wouldn't be as easy as I wanted it to. We changed directions on this Parameter today and switched to a comment which we just have to write based on what is needed in the Family. The link in your signature is very useful anyhow!
