I note that this idea is indicated by many users. After almost 10 years, nothing is yet available in Revit. My request: enable a text parameter to be controlled by a formula where text values and/or integers, numbers, length can be concatenated. This should not be difficult to achieve, but it offers many possibilities to establish relationships between elements via coding / labels. This is really a shortcoming in Revit.
Sadly, it being helpful does nothing to getting this actually implemented. This change will not affect their stock price so they simply ignoring it and many other similar issues. Remember YOU are not the customer, the shareholders are.
I guess it would need a seismic shift in the industry, moving away from Autode$k, for the management to finally wake up to the reality that the customers are the ones paying the bills.
Plenty of alternatives, assuming the customer base is prepared to take on the challenge of shifting to another platform.
I've seen that they're implementing this in the roadmap.
But I think it's important that it works both ways.
That is, that it can convert non-text format to text: For example, TextParam =("TEXT "[Length] ", More Text"[Param2] "asdfghjk") but ALSO that a text parameter can be used in a formula: For example, in a Yes/No parameter =if(textparam="OK", 1,0)
@arq_42 If they really want to get us to shut up about this, they should create a new API object like RevitFormulaFunction with a InputUnit[] and OutputUnit parameter and an Execute(object[] args) method for us to implement our own functions
Congrats! We think this is a great idea, so we've decided to add it to our roadmap. Thanks for the suggestion!
