Set parameter value in Family editing mode

Hello, I just have a quick question.

Since I usually use RIR to edit parameters in Revit’s project mode, is it possible to modify parameters while in the Family editing mode? As shown in the image and the attached sample file, if the family has many parameters and I need to set their values from an Excel file or similar, how can I achieve this?

The file version is 2022.

Hi Ctu6,

We don’t have components based on FamilyManager Methods, changing Type parameters can be done in the Project Environment.

@Japhy I see, I’ll stick with Project environment editing for now, thanks for the reply!

You can use the below to assign values to parameters within the Family Document

Note:

  • You will need to make sure the .dll are vailable in below paths or you can remap them, inside the script you can change the Revit 2024 path to other versions and should work.
  • Setup with R8 C# scripting component.
