"Parameter Jerk 2012 is a free Revit Addin utility that helps with importing multiple shared parameters into one or more files."

http://mertens3d.com/tools/revit/2012/parameter-jerk-2012/parameter-jerk-2012.php

 

Parameter Jerk is different from Revit 2011 Shared Parameters Converter Extension in several ways, most notable is the ability to save the configuration for each parameter (Group Undere, Instance/Type, Comment). It does not appear that you can do that with the Extension.

 

Try it out, let me know what you think.

I think this is going to really help me in my office. I just did a little bit of testing, and in RAC I was able to add MEP parameters (normally I can't, I have to do it from Revit MEP).

 

Something you might want to add is the ability to edit multiple parameters at once. I tried to change a group of parameters to type instead of instance and had to go down the list and click every check box instead of selectin them all and clicking once.

Hey -- I love your hatch add-in!  I'll give this a shot too.  I've avoided shared parameters as much as possible, maybe this'll make it a little more palatable.

TKennedy, I've added your suggestion to my 'to do' list. thanks.

 

itsmyalterego - Glad you are enjoying hatch22. You should certainly check out shared parameters,  they'll make tagging and scheduling much easier.

I have another suggestion for you. Right now your addin doesn't work inside a project. That's all well and good, I need it for families anyway. The problem I'm runing into is that it doesn't work with in-place families, which we use quite often (for instance, all of our custom serving counters).

 

If this isn't possible I have a workaround (copy the in-place geometry to a seperate family), but it'd be really nice not to have to do it.

I'll add that to the list too.

 

Thanks TKennedy

Awesome, great update! Seems to mostly be working, but I'm getting some errors when using sets.

1: When I open PJ the top set will be highlighted, but none of the params in the set will be selected. Since the top set is highlighted, clicking does nothing. I have to select a different set, then the top set (see PJError1, that's what it looks like just opening PJ, I haven't clicked anything).

2: It's not doing it now but the first time I was using it I wsa getting an error every time I selected a set, in the Main and the Edit Sets tab (see PJError2).

3: This may be related to #2, it's not happening now but it was when I was getting the error. When I would add params to a set other then the first set in the list, the params would get added correctly but it would switch back to the first set in the list. I would then have to click back to the set I was working it, which would throw an error.

 

Nitpicky stuff:

Is there a limit for the supplemental file backups? It'd be nice if it would only keep the last N amount, similar to how Revit operates.

A separate button on the ribbon would be nice, it would save a click or two.

 

Other than that, awesome add-in! I've been using the hell out of it, and it's really speeding up my day.

TKennedy,

 

Re: errors

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look at this soon, see if i can reproduce and fix it.

Re: backups

I could do that and will think about it. I'm a little reluctant to delete files on users computers...but I suppose I could prompt/ ask them if it's ok. ...thinking...
