Dynamo script – Map global parameter Map global parameter is a Dynamo script that allows you to link a global parameter to all Revit elements in one or more categories. Associate global parameters to parameters.
We don’t think anyone encounters zero problems managing and monitoring the correct use of global parameters. This trouble often stems from the fact that parameters are linked to elements by instance or by type in the model. For example, you might have two elements of the same family and of the same type; one may have a global parameter linked, while the other may not be linked.
In order to download script, follow the download link above. Then right-click on “BIM1_MapGlobalParameter.dyn” – “Save link as…”.
Note:
- Make sure it is possible to associate the parameter in question.
- All type or instance parameters are listed, but not all can be associated. Check that both parameters are the same type: text with text, material with material, etc.
Workflow:
- Choose the categories of elements that contain the parameter you want to link.
- Select the type of parameter: Type or Instance.
- Select the parameter of the categories concerned.
- Select the global parameter to link.
- A dialog box tells you how many items have been processed (or not).
