Data › Parameters

Your AI reads and fills in the parameters of the project and of its elements - writes values, lists the project parameters with their use, deletes them and exports them to CSV.

What it contains

The tools your AI uses to work on the parameters of the model open in Revit:

  • writes values into the parameters of elements and types (text, numbers in project units, yes/no, references to other elements), in a single operation you can undo;
  • lists the categories that accept parameters and Revit's "Group parameter under" groups, the data needed to bind parameters to the right categories;
  • lists all project parameters, shared or not, with their binding (instance or type), data type, group, categories and how many elements have them filled in;
  • deletes project parameters that are no longer needed, in a single operation you can undo;
  • saves the list of project parameters to a CSV file for Excel.

The last three do, by talking to your AI, what BIMit's "Parameter manager" (Gestione parametri) window does.

When to use it

  • To fill in parameters on many elements from a table, from a rule, or from what your AI has read in the model.
  • To clean up before a submission: find the project parameters that are empty or bound to categories with no elements, and delete them.
  • To check how well the parameters required by the specification or the BIM Execution Plan are filled in.
  • To hand the client or the team the list of the model's parameters in an Excel sheet.

The tools

  • Set parameters: writes values into the parameters of elements or types, in a single operation you can undo.
  • Categories and groups: the categories that accept parameters and Revit's "Group parameter under" groups.
  • Project parameters: all project parameters with binding, data type, group, categories and how many elements have a value.
  • Delete project parameters: deletes project parameters, shared or not, in a single operation you can undo.
  • Parameters to CSV: saves the list of project parameters to a CSV file for Excel.

Good to know

Every change to the model can be undone with Ctrl+Z in Revit; team actions ask for confirmation in Revit.

Where it is in Revit

BIMit tab › Data panel › Parameters. From the package, "Open window" opens BIMit's "Parameter manager" (Gestione parametri) window: the list of project parameters with filters, value counts, CSV export and deletion with confirmation.
