Modify parameters not working in Revit 2018.3

[rimutaka]

Hi,

I just updated to Revit 2018.3 and I realised that a tab connection to modify properties didn't work (see attachment).

Does someone experience like me? How to fix it?

No, I dont have the same problem.  

Check that the connections are loaded in structural connection settings.

Hi Adrian,

Yes, Connection are loaded under structural column.

Hi,

 Can you please check if when you select the connection, in the properties palette, the Modify properties button is enabled? does it open the connection properties dialog?

Hi Catalin,

Nothing changed.

Attached is a screenshot when I clicked connection (base plat)

Hi,

I don`t think that your family is a structural connection system family. I belive it is a family with Structural steel category assigned.

Only the system structural connection families have the  Modify Parameters button available, and this button is enabled only for the addins that enable this option, like Steel Connections for Revit addin.

Can you attach a simple model, just with the column and the connection from the picture?

Hi Catalin,

Yes, this is not a structural connection system family. It is a family with Structural connection Family Category assigned.

It can be modify only from the Properties palette or from family editor.

Here is a link that can help you to install the Steel Connection for Revit addin.
