Allow Shared Parameter in a Key Schedule

Allow Shared Parameter in a Key Schedule

Currently one cannot add a shared parameter to a key schedule.  We need ability to add them and control their values from the Key schedule.

It would also be interesting if we could add a key and populate its values from within the properties panel.

 

Say I have window families with height and width being an instance property. If shared parameters for keyschedules would be allowed, I could preset some values in the keyschedule to have consistent window sizing.

 

However, when I have an off size window, I would love to have an option 'create key based on this element'. This could for example be an example in the key dropdown. That way, we could populate a key schedule based on the elements and wouldn't have to retype values in the keyschedule

This idea was the highest voted at the BILT NA 2017 conference. Thanks Sasha for having a voting board there with idea from this board.

Still a great idea.  Can't wait for it to be implemented.

@sasha.crotty Any update on this? Been under review for almot 2 years as 12th most popular idea.

I would absolutely love to be able to do this for Hardware Groups on doors. Key Lists are simply incomplete without the possibility of showing the values on plans. Either be able to Tag Project parameters or be able to use a project based Key List on a Shared Parameter.

It would avoid needing one parameter for the Key List data population and another with the same value just to be able to Tag it.

 

Absolutely a big wish for Revit, silly that it's not yet possible.

Agreed! Hardware groups would be one of the many uses. I hope Autodesk can
move this up the priority list.

Tagging of areas and calculated values from keys for a Code Review plan would be a HUGE use for this ... still waiting ...

This issue has been around since 2006,  When planning workflow and process this and calculated values in tags are stumbling blocks that require 3rd party workarounds that don't keep data live.  Would be a great help.

Cannot say enough about this need for ability to add calculated values to tags. Without the need for Dynamo or Add-ins that go away. Can't vote this up enough.

 Anyone got any idea how long this has been 'under review'?

Seriously.  Why has this not been accomplished yet, or at least addressed as to why not??

Will it ever get solved? This would make my day!

Why is this not a thing? I thought surely I was simply doing something wrong. Though I'm only getting started in familiarity with shared parameters, I can't think of any reason why they can't be used in key schedules. Please, Autodesk, add this functionality.

So I went through this exercise I dreamed up to make it easier to create window and door schedules... only to be foiled right at the end when I couldn't find a way to schedule shared parameters in the key schedule. Turns out it's not me. It's Revit. 😞

 

For a product that bills itself as a premiere BIM application it sure is lacking a lot of internal connectivity between the various sets of data that we generate. Please consider prioritising these features.

Great job on keeping positive instead of just complaining! Your post kind of changed my tone on this Monday morning. Revit makes my job a lot easier, and I appreciate that. This topic would just make Revit better and make my job even easier.
