In this video, you will learn about all the different parameter types built within families in Revit. There are a number of different parameter types that each do different things. I cover each you should know in this video and how to use them. While this video is long, I recommend seeing each of the parameter types in action. Some formulas are implemented to show how these parameter types work but a complete video on formulas will be out soon. Thanks for watching!

So happy to help, this means a lot! Thanks so much! :D

@wade00814 4 года назад

Thanks man! Do you plan to make videos about other parameter types too? (project, shared, global)

@ArchitectureVanguard 4 года назад

I do, I would likely have a separate video for each. That said, I hardly if ever use shared parameters and global parameters in my projects. Definitely will make one on project parameters soon!

I am wondering about 2 things: 1. How to constrain a circle extrusion using the align tool. Circles are finicky. 2. How to use the TIME parameter. I am creating an analog clock as a class assignment and wonder if the TIME parameter is useful for this experiment. Thanks for taking the time to show us the step processes.

@ArchitectureVanguard 3 года назад

You’re right, circles are finicky. There is always an edge of the circle you can use to constrain (likely in the sketch of the circle). As for the time parameter, I have not used it all that much but I know that both the time and speed parameters are used for the path of travel tool as of Revit 2020. I may look to do a video about that in the near future but they are hardly used to my knowledge.

@MonkeysRus 3 года назад

Architecture Vanguard actually open the sketch of the circle and turn on centre mark on the properties window. Then align and lock that

@JavierOropeza08 4 года назад

I am not sure if its work mentioning, or maybe you do, that not all parameter types can be used in formulas? Like I do not think you can use formulas with text parameters? It's possible that I am thinking about the formula parameter, where it lets you do like Length + Height. I may have to watch the part about the family types, it was a bit confusing. It was hard to understand without a real family to look at, but maybe that was just me being slow lol. Good stuff man, I appreciate all the time you have put into this. I did not about the not() feature! edit: you cover formulas in the newer video, lot of good stuff in that video

@ArchitectureVanguard 4 года назад

If you are doing something like Length + Height then text would not fall into the formula, although you could use text in a formula if you wanted to determine what a text parameter says. You might have a couple of word parameters and another with a formula to concatenate them. I have never used it myself but I believe it could be useful. I can see how not having a family to look at would impact the quality of the video, will be sure to have examples to show. The not() is pretty awesome and an easier one to use!

@JavierOropeza08 4 года назад

@@ArchitectureVanguard yes concatenate is what I was talking about. I thought you could do it, but I don't think it's possible. That's the stuff I meant , that not all parameter types work with formulas or with schedules/ sorting/ filters. Can't think of good examples, I just remember from working in schedules, things didn't always work as you think they should

@timrozier5360 Год назад

Hey, great video. I am trying to schedule a family type parameter which is nested in a parent family to control the colour of the air terminal (I have already used the types to control the air terminal size). I need to be able to schedule this "colour" parameter but as it is a family type parameter it cannot be scheduled. Can you think of a workaround? Thank you

@ArchitectureVanguard Год назад

The best work around I can think of would be conditional formatting for your schedule. This can highlight cells with specific colors without having to use specific parameters. But you could use those specific parameters to drive the conditional formatting. That might be the route I take.

@erenboyaci875 3 года назад

thanks for this video. How can take a curtain wall schedule for level ?

@ArchitectureVanguard 3 года назад

Just like wall schedules, you should be able to schedule curtain curtain walls. There will be levels in the schedule too.

I want to create parameters cabinet, i want the door to change parameters There's a parameter option has a choice that we put in it the category for example it can be (doors, generic, etc ) so ...if i chose doors all the doors families in the project be available to choose, even if it's not suitable to it, i want a way either to allow only specific options or to create a new family type category so i can put the doors with in it, Can you help me please with any suggestions

@bassemb.2369 2 года назад

Could you please try to tell us what is the reason for choosing the next step? Thank you

@ArchitectureVanguard 2 года назад

What next step are you referring to?

@user-re3lh3bp4d Год назад

Sorry, really do appreciate the video but tracking back and going through the exercise there also seems to be a missing step creating a extra slope parameters. At 12:15 a 'desired slope' suddenly appears in the parameters, at 14:17 the parameter is now slope value appears? Its the little things especially in families that seem to upset the whole process.

For Revit at least I would look for the highest speed processor you can find. Revit does not use all the core form a multi core processor like other programs. So single core speed should be high. Also at least 16gb or RAM will be required.

@User_2026_ 3 года назад

Hello duude.. you did great job but can u explain what is under (Type of Parameter) and how u can use it? Please ,,, it’ll help me a lot..thanks for ur time

@ArchitectureVanguard 3 года назад

Ahhh that is a good idea, I will have to do that! It is a little niche but works just fine for sure. I will have to make a video for it.

@GDImhoff 3 года назад

OK I will Bite. Where / How did You get "Slope value". I am using Revit 2021 LT and assuming that Slope value is a full Blown Revit thing???? Does it make any difference

@ArchitectureVanguard 3 года назад

Gary, this very well could be. Are you saying that when you go to make a new project parameter that you do not see slope as an option of a type or parameter?

@abbyhernandez3743 Год назад

How can I add a parameter to a label text so it always stays horizontal?

@ArchitectureVanguard Год назад

That would not be a parameter but instead a locked rotational dimension. That would do it.

@badgerrunner7774 2 года назад

I don't know if it's just me, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how he change the last model to an instance instead of a type. I mean, it was OTHER in the Family type, but when he goes back CONSTRUCTION has taken it's place.

@ArchitectureVanguard 2 года назад

I bet the parameters have the same name. I believe the project parameter will overtake that parameter of the family with the same name. You can recreate the parameter in the family or just change the category of it in the family. What kind of element is it?

@badgerrunner7774 2 года назад

@@ArchitectureVanguard it was at 36:34 at the end of the video, with the triangle and cube. I thought It was a type.

@bayramyucel6523 3 года назад

teacher, can you help me get the family parameter assignment and quantity

@ArchitectureVanguard 3 года назад

You are looking to get the quantity of an element? I would look to use a schedule in that case.

@@ArchitectureVanguard If I take care of the railing, my job is just a civil engineer. I don't have much trouble if I deal with this issue.

@ArchitectureVanguard 3 года назад

Yea I would take the length of the rail.

@timrozier5360 Год назад

Slightly incorrect saying you cannot create formulae with combined parameters with different units - you need to convert the parameter to "unitless" by dividing by 1 before using the parameter in a formula

@ArchitectureVanguard Год назад

You are correct!
