A simple and effective tool that will enhance your productivity, particularly when working on office templates and creating families.

This App enables you to rename bound shared parameters while retaining the parameter formula and GUID. Where possible it will also retain the value.

Individual bound shared parameter names can be completely changed or multiple parameters can have a Suffix and/ or Prefix added to the name. As well as retaining the parameter formula, the parameters also retain their GUID.

Within families, the family parameter formula is also amended to reflect any dependent changes made to the Shared Parameter name.

Works with Families, Templates and can also be used with Projects (see Additional Information).

You can  only rename a family shared parameter in a family, not in a project. If that family is used in a project you have to reload it into the project which over writes the original Family along with all the associated values. These values then have to be re-added by the user.

You can change project shard parameters within a project. The issue again is if there are multiple instances where the shared parameter is used the values have to then be added back.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Renaming project Shared Parameters bound to multiple categories and associated data is a resources heavy process. It is recommended that your system should have a minimum of 16 GB RAM and upon completion of the renaming that the file is saved and Autodesk® Revit® closed and reopened.

In the unlikely event that a project shared parameter has the same GUID as a Family Shared parameter the associated data of the Family Shared Parameter will be lost.
