Hi all,

I want to give conditional format to window tag - Sill Height.

I want the tag show me the Sill Heigh when different than 0. I do not want to show the Sill heght when equal to 0.

Any idea?

I think you would do it with a label with visibility parameter which checks a shared parameter value if it's >0.

You can do this through a Calculated Parameter in the Tag Family which evaluates the "Sill Height" Parameter Value.

 

e.g.: Formula for Calculated Parameter= if(Sill Height>0, 1,2)

 

Let me clarify: Are you asking if a Tag's Value can be blank if the Parameter Value (Type=Length) it is reading a 0'-0".  If so; NO.  But, the Tag can evaluate the Sill Height in the Project via an IF Statement to return a particular Length Value for True and False.

Understoo now.

That is a pity. So I think best solution would be a visibility parameter.

You need diffterent tags, one type shows sill label, the other does not. Sounds like a waste of time for such a minor outcome.

As I said before I makes totally sense use visibility function.

Just wanted to know if woudl have been possible th use of IF Conditiotional (Show Not Show) to not crete 2 Types.

Maybe only using global parameters... which would defeat the purpose really, better to use 2 types then. You could run a Dynamo script which sets the tag types perhaps based on the values.

It might be an idea, but as @ToanDN said, too much effort for minor outcome
