Wall Parameters

[Anonymous]

I work for an engineering company, and we recently started modeling shear walls & adding parameters to tag & schedule them. Occasionally in the same project we will have masonry & wood shear walls. Can I set a parameter to show up in the masonry wall, but not in the wood wall?

Example: I would want "sheathing rating" to show up in the wood shear wall browser, but I wouldn't want that to show up under my masonry walls. I can filter it out of my schedule, but its still showing up in my project browser.

There is no way to hide parameters from browser

Well first of all, if you created a parameter for a wall then Revit will apply it to all walls regardless of the type. You can create a schedule key to differentiate the masonry wall from you wood shear wall. From that you can create schedule for the shear rating or any rating you want.

Yes I understand that I can filter through the schedules & such I was just wonder if it is possible to have certain wall parameters show up in certain wall types browsers & not all wall types? But it seems like its not possible.

You could put different parameters on different families.

Bu not if does families are walls.

You will have to create some generic models (or anything else you want) and put some shared parameters in those families.

But it is a lot of work and those generic models will not work as good as a wall family.
