Shared Editor

The Shared Parameter Editor window is very similar to Revit’s parameter management functionality, but with a very user-friendly interface, and by using DiRootsOne’s ParaManager, you can manage all your project parameters, shared parameters, by families and categories in one place. Lets start the steps:

Load Shared Parameters File (SP File)

Click on the Load SP File button and choose the parameters file to import.

Add Parameter

Create new shared parameters by clicking on the Add Parameter button and then defining the data.

1. Right-click on the parameter and select New Guid to generate a new Guid to replace the current one.

Groups

To create a shared parameter you need at least one group to assign it to, so we have the default group, but you can also create new groups as in the Shared Parameters window in Revit. Click on the Groups button to manage it by creating, editing and removing groups.

Rename

Rename button allows you to add a suffix and/or prefix to parameters marked with a checkbox. Ir also allows you to replace part of the parameter name with a new value.

# Note:
Note that manual name modification in the list view is allowed.

Clear modifications

The clear button has options to clean all changes made in the current ParaManager session or to unload files without saving the changes.

The search box will search for shared parameters contained in the Schedules.

Save

When you have finished managing the shared parameters, save them in a txt file so that they can be used in other projects.
