Revit :: Managing Width Of Text Parameter Entries

Feb 25, 2014

If there is a way of managing the width (and start position) of a text parameter?

I have created a 'Title Sheet' stamp for entering the proposed materials that are intended for a building project.  This is used for a UK Planning Application where the required materials intended for use in a project need to be declared.  Having created a suitable stamp where the information infills are created from Project Information parameters I need occasionally to widen the column width to accommodate the amount of text so that it does not need to drop down to another line and be lost behind the text on the next line?
 
See the attached image below: 
:
On the second column 'Proposed' the word 'panels' which comes after 'weatherboard' is lost behind the lower line. If I can lock each label to the vertical lines to their left (they are all center) formatted) and extend their width to the right, along with the column vertical dividing line, then the labels will fit.  Similarly I could increase the depth of each row.

Revit :: Use Parameter To Enter Width In Element Properties Window Of Selected Wall

Aug 11, 2008

Is it possible to use something like a parameter that would allow you to enter a width in the element properties window of the selected wall(s)?

we would like to have a generic wall (outline only) that the width can be changed per wall for layout purposes, then the walls will be selected & changed later to an actual wall with known materials.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Recently Used Values / Parameters In Dimension Dialog / Width Parameter List

Jan 10, 2012

if it is possible to increase the number of recently used values/parameters in the dimension dialog, during part sketching. For one part, I use approximately ten parameters that will be used repeatedly. When I'm done with one sketch and start with the next, only the last five parameters are in the recently used parameter list. (Create dimension --> select arrow on right side of dialog, see attachment Dimension_Dialog.jpg, excuse me for the poor quality ). It would be much more comfort to have more parameters in this 'recently used'-list.

Furthermore I'd like to know if it's possible to widen the parameter-list. In my case I've several parameters that start with the same prefix, followed by a differentiating suffix. When I create a new dimension, select the arrow on the right and select 'List Parameters', I have to adjust the width of this dialog every time to see the entire parameter. (see picture Dimension_parameters.jpg)

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Completely Eliminate Asian / Middle East Entries From Default Text Styles?

Nov 10, 2011

I was wondering why Batang and Arial were appearing in the Fonts under Document Properties when I had not actively used them in my "New" document.

When I looked at the Default text files, I believe I see the reason. I find Batang listed as the default Asian Text font for both Artistic and Paragragh Text. The options for Asian Text don't seem to include any fonts that I have on the old machines.

Similarly, the Middle East Default Text style would seem to generate the Arial(Arabic) entry in the required fonts.

Is there a way to completely eliminate the default Asian Text  and Middle East entries from the default text styles?

Revit :: How To Set Parameter Up

Mar 22, 2013

I have been working on creating windows for the place I work.  I want to make my windows so they are quick and easy to create new ones without having to add in new information like if the glass is tempered or if its an egress window. I would like to set up formulas for these.  I am stuck at my egress window parameter.  I have included an image of what I am working on and the calculations and formulas I have so far.  I would like to have my egress check box to say yes if the Opening Width is greater then 20", the opening height is greater then 24" and the opening sf is greater then 5.7 Sf.  How would I set this parameter up?

Revit :: Tooltip On Label Parameter?

Oct 5, 2011

Does the tooltips on Label Parameters can be modified? I would like to customize the tooltips on label parameters, which currently default to "Edit Parameter"...lame-oh; that tells the user very little. Perhaps the developers could add a customize tooltip control in the Edit Label dialogue box. Can the tooltips be accessed through the database?

Revit :: Parameter Group Not Sticking?

Feb 19, 2014

I have set 2 parameters in the Family Editor so they 'Group Under' Dimensions, yet when I load into a project (that the family object has been deleted out of via the Project Browser), I find instead they are Grouped under 'Other'.
 
One of the offending objects attached.
 
I've done this 2 ways, once by opening within Revit the Family Editor, making the change and then loading back into the file, only to find nothing has changed, and also then by again opening up in the family editor from Revit to find ditto; and separately by opening up the file directly in Explorer and then loading into the open project.
 
Not an enormous problem, just annoying as I want to group Dimensions parameters naturally enough under Dimensions!

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Text Width Before Text Creation

Mar 2, 2013

I want to know is there any formula/calculation for the width of text object before creation/insertion? At now I used approximated width size via a simple .
 
(Defun GetStrWidth (str H W) (fix (*(* H W) (strlen str))));;usage: (GetStrWidth "This is a Text." 2.5 0.8);;H: TextHeight; W: width factor. 

I know that for the existed text in drawing I can use textbox command, but for the texts that has not been created, what can I do? Is there any formula/calculation depends on font name, text height and width factor?

Revit :: Correct IFC Exports Using Visibility Parameter

Mar 4, 2012

I find the visibility parameter a very useful option when building families. Unfortunately it doesn't work when exporting IFC. The elements set to not visible are visible in the IFC exports.
 
I also experienced IFC export issues with the use of phases.An element created at phase 1 and set to demolished at phase 2, will not be visible in the IFC export of phase 1.
 
The IFC Exporter for Revit 2012 v1.0.4.msi was used when running into these issues.How to be able to have correct IFC exports using the visibility parameter ?

Revit :: View Specific Parameter For Cut Plane

Feb 23, 2014

when I insert a window family the cut plane Revit uses is that of the family rather than that of the view. This causes a lot of problems for us when we need to cut the same window at different levels in different views and the window itself should look different. The window itself is built to look differnet at 3 ranges of cut plane height. However, if I try to control this throught yes/no visibility parameter it affects all views. I fail to make it view specific. Is there any way to make an instance parameter or view specific parameter for the cut plane/ visibility of parts in the window family. It is such a basic need for architects and I fail to understand its absence in the Revit. Generaly speaking one should be able to control what you see in each plan section view. It's an essential thing in architectural drawing.

Revit :: Constrain Family And Rotate With Parameter?

Jul 15, 2013

I need to constrain a handle to a butterfly valve and add a parameter for rotating the handle angle.  I can't achieve this as when I constrain the handle to the valve the handle will not rotate without breaking the positional constraints.
 
I've tried looking at the door swing posts but they don't use circular objects and I can't get them to work for my valve.

Revit :: Families - Lock Parameter Value Across All Types

Apr 24, 2012

I have a family that has over thirty types and I need to update a single parameter value across all types to be the same value.  Is there a global way to perform this task instead of the current copy/paste/paste/paste method I am doing.  I thought about exporting to a catalog and modifying the text file in Excel, but I lose my formula when I do that.
 
If this isn't possible, this would be a good wishlist item, Autodesk - where a family has global parameters that are consistent throughout the family, regardless of type.

Revit :: Make Conditional Formulas With A Parameter?

Mar 5, 2012

I was wondering if there was a way to make conditional formulas with a parameter?  So I want a parameter called system.  On the pulldown to enter the field under properties.
 
 I want there to be 3 choices (i.e. 1=Air, 2=Water, 3=Gas). 
 
If the user tries to enter any value other than the 3 values specified (whether by typing or pulldown), a message comes up stating they cant do that.  The names for the systems have been simplifed for this example but the spelling is critical to the external database.  I have tried but  but I keep getting the follwoing is not a valid family parameter: X. X because thats the first conditional value.

Revit :: Filter Parameter Values ​​which Are Only Applicable?

Oct 22, 2013

I'm wondering if it is possible to filter/show only parameter values which are only applicable to that parameter. So no parameter values belonging to other parameters in a family. This to avoid that users are selecting wrong values. For example a door with several text parameters. See also the screendump.

Revit :: Reporting Parameter For Stair Pitch

Jul 25, 2013

Is it possible to create a Stair Tag with the pitch reported?  I have a tag which includes the number and height of rises as well as the size of treads but I would like to include the pitch also.  Obviously this would use the dimensions of the rise and tread in the formula Tan X = Rise/Tread, but how do I create this in a tag?  I have looked at using a Reporting Parameter but every time I read the Wikihelp paragraph on them my eyes just glaze over as I cannot follow it at all but it does mention formulas....
