- Join me live as we talk about Shared Parameters in Revit Tutorial. Shared parameters can be a mystery to many new and experiences Revit users.
What are shared parameters in Revit?
Why should we use shared parameters in Revit?
When should we use shared parameters in Revit?
My goal with this live episode is to de-mystify the shared parameter and give you a better understanding of when, why, and how to use them!
So grab your favorite cocktail, sit back, and enjoy the conversation!

Cheers! Thanks for tuning in!!
THANK YOU. Great and more than helpful video.
God bless those two little cuties...
Cheers!
Hello, this is an awsome Video, thx. it helped me a lot. now my understanding of the complex world of revit parameters is way better. ive started revit 10 month ago, before that i worked for 18 years with allplan. best regards from Germany
So glad it helped! Understanding this takes you to a whole other level of Revit user...! Good luck!
this video is really great really helpful I am new with shared parameters but this helped me a lot. thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This has helped me out so much!
Cheers Erik! So glad!
Thank you for thinking about Sole Practitioners, this should always be the was Tutorials are focussed.
Cheers!
Love You, I am watching you first time , you are very humble & Funny ..Thank you for knowledge sharing ..Cute Kids ...God bless you ..Keep sharing
Cheers, Rakesh ! Thanks for tuning in and your kind words! :)
Congrats for the baby
Cheers! Thank you
Thank you for the valuable information. is it possible to have a tutorial in schedules for BIM 5D , quantity take-off and how to be related in Cost-X software please
Check out this livestream.... ruclips.net/video/051WFw52C5g/видео.html ... and also, search my channel for anything on "Assemble Systems"
I like your explanation! this allows me to explain this tricky revit parameter magic or voodoo to people in the office
Glad to hear it! thanks for tuning in!
If there are some family parameter or project parameter that we want to Tag them, what should we do? Is there a way to add new shared parameter and add a formula make shared parameter "equal" to the family parameter or project parameter? So, then we can tag it.
Really concise and on point, thank you! In addition, I have a question: if we are using the shared parameters does it mean that we never have to assign them to a particular family (so open a family and add them there and import them). Of course the tag family will have to be opened and the shared parameter assigned but the chair for example, since we are assigning them to the furniture category.
Thanks for the kind words! I am glad the video helped! Technically, yes, you are right.... the parameter doesn't have to exist within each family if it is applied to the project using the families category. It only needs to exist in the families where the data wants to be shared/read. Like you said... A tage family.
@@TheRevitKid thank you!
I am seven months into Revit in my current company and only now I understand why my specialist created dozens of shared parameters lol
Haha, now you know!!! Cheers!
Hello, thanks for video. How can i add shared parameter (for family) related to system family length parameter?
Thanks for watching! I am not sure what you mean by “related to”?
God bless you Dear
Same to you
Wow, great video! Do you have any plans to go over Autodesk's new ACC Parameters Service tool?
I dont have any plans, too... But, I will keep in mind now that you've suggested it hehe
So, I am trying to redo some of our company's families, specifically the doors. And we had a bunch of old shared parameters and a bunch named funky, with incorrect grouping. So, in question 1, I renamed some of the shared parameters. They look fine in the Shared Parameters file and within the door family, but when I bring in the Door into a Revit project/template, the names go back to the original names and categorize them likewise. So, are these housed somewhere within the project/template I cannot see? It was rather frustrating because I purged all the doors and cleaned up all the schedules. Is there a way to create a custom "Parameter Group" within the Family Type dialog? ie Construction / Materials and Finishes ..etc?
Is it preferable to have a single Shared Parameter file that works across multiple versions of Revit? We use 2017-2022.
I believe you will want to double check and upgrade your parameter file with your version.... I think there could be issues when carrying a shared file from version to version.
Actually you don't have to do the "count new" parameter. you can just do a calculated value who's formula is just COST, then make sure that calculate totals is on for that parameter.
Yes, when it comes to this particular example (total cost), you are right... But when it comes to more complex formulas that maybe require an if statement or something else reliant on Count, this is a fantastic tip!
yes, that's exactly how i used to do it but i can see that this new parameter can be handy when it's more complex stuff
Congrats! God bless
Yes Exactly
God bless you
I have a question is it possible to create parameter with formula and shared with multiple projects?
Yes, that is how shared parameters work! Well, it depends onw here the formula is... A parameter itself does not include formulas
Can you please make a tutorial on global and project parameter?
Sure!!
So I followed this video which was great, until... I want a mechanical equipment tag that does this "Shared Parameter_Room Number_Shared Parameter" but I cannot for the life of me work out how to do this. Any help much appreciated!
You want a tag that shows Two shared parameters and a room number? Are you starting off with the Room Tag and modifying it?
@@TheRevitKid No, specifically I want a mechanical equipment tag (or any tag that works!), I tried modifying a room tag but I couldn't tag the mechanical equipment with it.
@Peter Eriksson Thanks Peter, I understand that. But you can’t tag mechanical equipment and include the room number in Revit unfortunately which is very limiting.
ah yo she got your hair lol jk love your vids
Why wouldnt you always make a shared parameter?
Video starts kinda at 7:41 😅
There are chapters.... You could start wherever you want...
@41:40 safe way is to save text file of shared parameter by sending mail to yourself. Though we miss a lot of data once text file is deleted, a considerable amount of data can be restored by using the text file saved in mail
