Revit - Using Tags to Drive Instance Parameters
Tags: Revit, Revit Shared Parameters, TaggingGet the Flash Player to see this player.
Software : Revit Architecture 2009
Level : Beginner - Intermediate
Description : This Revit Architecture 2009 video tutorial covers how to use tags as drivers for parameters rather than just for display. The idea here is to use “working tags”. The Tags can easily be cleaned up for display on working drawings later, the intent here is to avoid having to go to the properties of an object to change parameters. Here is a link to the source files on the forum.
Topics Covered
-Creating shared parameters
-Creating a generic tags
-Tagging shared parameters
-Using tags to modify parameters

Excellent tutorial. Thank You. I am still not happy with shared parameters though. They should be called “shared parameter definitions” for a start. Then comes the hard question: Why are they neccessary? Why isn’t a project aware of ANY type parameter that has been loaded. I am still missing something.
Wow! Great tutorial. I am getting a much better handle on families and the power of parameters.
wow thanku
Hello,
Thanks for the tutorial. Is it possible to add the label as part of the family so that the shared parameter is available the same way temporary dimensions are when the object is selected.

Very helpful tutorial, I will be using Revit MEP Electrical. I am wondering if the line between the tag and the element will be printable in a floor layout or plan? I want the tag text to display but not the joining line. Is it possible to hide the line by category?
