I am trying to create both an instance and type based parameters to some direct shapes in Revit from Grasshopper. When I try and do this with instance everything seems to work fine. I see the parameter and the value show up in the properties panel. When I switch the Add Parameter component from Instance to Type it no longer works. I see the error "Parameter ‘CODE2’ is not defined on ‘Element’.
What do I need to do to host the type based parameter on these items? Do I need to define this parameter first? How can I do this from GH, or does this originate in Revit?
I see the parameters writing in GH but on the properties in Revit they never populate. I would need them to host both the instance and type parameters in the same DirectShape items. Is this not the correct use of DirectShape Type? Can I plug this in straight from the AddDirectShape(geometry)?
My Rhino/Gh geometry is positioned in Rhino and pushed into Revit. I am not placing these items via locations and there is only one instance of each item. So I am not sure what to do with the location input. Also would the type parameter not be visible in the properties panel in Revit in the end? I need the to host both instance and type parameters at the same time.
To have access to a Revit Type Parameters you will need to place an instance of a Family. Direct Shape Geometry is not a Revit Family, They offer the DirectShapeType to provide some of the Family functionality in Direct Shapes.
