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.

The most needed for me is to be able to create the parameters for Key Schedules from API. At this moment the Revit API is unable to create project parameters. There is a discussion about that here:

 

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/create-project-parameter-not-shared-parameter/td-p/51...

 

It would be great to have at least one solution of these two:

1 - Key Schedules allow shared parameters

2 - Project parameters can be created from Revit API

 

Without one of them, it´s impossible to create Key Schedules through Revit API including their parameters.

2019 is out and the first thing I tried was checking to see if I can create Key Schedule from shared parameters, and no luck yet.

How long, exactly how long is that going to take?? Is there at least an add on we could purchase to do the the job?

Very very frustrating for door schedules.

Please Autodesk, please do something about it...

You might get it before fire tape. Fire tape is often required by many AHJ, AHCA, and is an NFPA standard and the still refuse to provide that ability.

Seriously. Is this not resolved yet? It's 2018. This should have been possible in 20..... like more than 15 years ago when Revit began putting the I into BIM.

Take a look at this new tool on Revit Store:

 

123 Search

 

It solves this problem and many more.

I'm not looking to pay more money to have Shared Parameters in Key Schedules thanks.  This should be a basic function of Revit.

Yup. While I appreciate that there is an ecosystem built around Revit as a platform and that there are many developers who produce some good apps that supplement Revit, I do no appreciate that Revit is missing some really basic functionality.

Keynotes? I have to edit them in a text file? Really? The list is long and tedious...

Hi   , 

123 Search seems like a potentially powerful tool. I like the look of your work. However if I can't understand how to use it from the videos you've created (even if I can work it out) how am I meant to explain to less experience users how to create and edit the information they need in order to make Key Schedules flexible.

I'm quite sad that this is not a workable solution. Autodesk just need to 'come to the party' already!!!!!

The use of shared parameters for Schedule Keys will give us the ability to have one Pipe Type and force drop-down selection of rating of pipe type with fittings (Heavy Duty, Medium Duty, SCH 40, SCH 50) for one huge run of piping with sections of it changing with its pressure rating.

 

Or select from a dropdown list where these pipes are mounted for installation rates calculation on export.

2/10 of the top request have been solved and this is the 11th most voted idea. So technically it is the 9th most voted ideas that has not been implemented.

 

What is taking so long for a response? the programming workflow is pretty much useless without this functionality.

All,

Just looked over the Revit 2019 roadmap.

 

There seems no mention of of this.

This was submitted mid-2016. It`s pretty sad that Autodesk is so disconnected from it`s customer`s repeated basic requests.

 

They create a whole system for us to provide feedback and then wait 3+ years to not react to it. Maybe in another 3 years? Smiley Frustrated

It has been 1144 days since the initial post, but who's really counting at this point..?

Currently quite a few of the top voted ideas have been implemented in Revit 2019 / 2020.

When can we expect an official response from Autodesk if this idea will be implemented or not?

At least it's under review. Smiley Happy

Yes, this will allow us to have our shared parameters in our Template were needed to act like a prepopulated dropdown list. This should have been available from the start.

@mariusvanwyk2216  there's also an idea to have prepopulated dropdown lists as an option for parameters: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/combo-box-for-parameter-attributes/idi-p/6315262
