First, thanks for using my nodes. let me explain the error. In some cases are files closed so fast that the output can't be shown by previous nodes. This is something I experience on a lot of my nodes, since I have a lot of nodes that works with background files. ...and the code block you used for your waiting mechanism do I also have a node for, namely the "Await" node.
Hi Erik, means a lot that you took the time to watch and comment; I'm a huge fan of the Orchid package - it's saved me so much time! That makes sense in regards to the error, given the output was still functioning I assumed it was something behind the scenes and not something to worry about. The await node is very helpful, I typically write it locally to minimize custom package usage, and also use the 'Passthrough' node in clockwork from time to time (the exposed node contents are sometimes my preference so that users can dig deeper into the functions - although I know ZT nodes are more efficient). Thanks again, and keep up the great work you do for the community!
Erik and Aussie BIM Guru - I am having some trouble with this workflow. I am using Dynamo 2.0.3 and Orchid 203. The problem I am having is when I run the workflow, the Shared Parameters are added to the first .rfa file in the folder, then none of the other files. I can see it opened them and saved them as there is now a backup copy. I get an error in the custom node: Parameter.AddSharedParameter that states, "www, xxx, xyz, zyz shared parameter could not be found". I have 9 SPs I am trying to load, the error only includes 4 of them, but the other 5 are also not added to the family. When I run the version of this workflow that is for a single family, there is no problem. I don't know where I am going wrong.
@@AussieBIMGuru To be honest; I don't understand how to do that. EDIT: Ok, I figured that out. I ran the workflow again and got the same error message. This time however it did actually add all of the SPs to all of the families. Thanks for your time, and this channel, it's been amazingly useful.
Cool! It'd be nice to see a script which can regroup already existing parameters in a family. Or I can just run the script for the second time with different list of parameter groups?
Thanks Vadim! Modifying parameter groups isn't possible from what I've seen and tried - it rolls it back after the file is reopened. Some discussion on it here: forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/bug-changing-parameter-group-is-not-possible-in-api/td-p/9810741
Hi Gavin, Brilliant tutorial - thank you for some advanced free knowledge! An issue I ran into - I was following along your tutorial using the latest version of Orchid (v.230.0.1.7430) and the results were temperamental, most of the time returning families with no added shared parameters. I then ran the exact same SharedParamBatch.dyn directly from your Git that used an older version of Orchid (v230.0.1.7333) and it worked perfectly - shared parameters added. To test this theory I updated the orchid nodes (Directory.Contents, Document.BackgroundOpen and Document.Close) using v.230.0.1.7430 directly from your Git and it failed - resulting in families that did not have the shared parameters. Just FYI Perhaps this comment will be made redundant on a future update of orchid. cheers
I'm on 2020.2.1 so no issues there. I haven't updated my orchid yet but maybe there's a change made... I know Erik saw this video and might have changed node behaviour to better suit levels. Can you try with documents with no levels and the @L2 dropped to @L1? I did see him propose this to another user but it didn't work (in my build of Orchid maybe...).
@@AussieBIMGuru I tried it setting familiyDocument to no levels, parameters names, group etc to @L1 and it didnt seem to work returning families without the shared params. For whatever reason your version on Git works no dramas.
Brilliant work ABG! Absolute lifesaver! Can i ask how do you fill complete the information for the shared parameter value? This would be great to know also. Thanks a million for your help :)
Thanks Andrea, glad to be of help :). There are two ways to set type values, one would require setting the values of each type (or types). You could do this using the Orchid Package also, and would need to get the family types after adding the parameters. To set formulae instead, you can also use this package. I have a video on how to do it in a family document here: czcams.com/video/arEYfAJp7Y8/video.html
Thank you so much for this! Clear explanation and an incredible time-saver. I imagine in principle a script can be created to remove all parameters from a folder of families? How would advise going about that? Also, since I’ve got your attention, what sort of third party tools do you use for component library management - I don’t think a dedicated project space is the best solution. - keep up with the content!
Thanks for the kind words and queries! Orchid has a node to remove parameters by name. You could make a list of parameter matches or test if it fails on read only parameters like keynote. An element.parameters and parameter.name node would do the trick. I actually build most content myself and use a robust naming/folder system to keep it under control. I've tried unifi before though, good choice for large scale deployment (100+ users).
Hey Gavin, first I would like to say that your videos are really great. I made my own Dynamo-Script exactly how you did but it didn't work. I tested it with 2 parameter and only the first 2 families got these parameters. Using 3 parameters in my Excelfile the first 3 families got these parameters. I found out that if I let the document-input-level to standard and the other inputs to 1 it works for all families. But... anyway... 1000thanks to you =) best wishes Philipp
My thoughts might be that the Orchid package expects different level inputs. Typically users have informed me that lowering the levels for the parameter set node seems to help, so making my @L1 into no level, and @L2 into @L1. I believe the author updated this node after seeing my videos, under the expectation this would make the node easier to use (but my video a bit harder to implement...).
@@AussieBIMGuru Thanks for the video Gavin. What it worked for me is raise "familyDocument" to Level 2 and keep the rest without Level. Sometimes I don't understand what is going on but I just need to play a bit with the levels to get the right outcome.
@@javierperezmarin4121 yes often it relates to how the Python/C# lists are told to work in the custom node that can dictate the function. Some nodes naturally work with some inputs run across all of the other sub-lists, so levels become the way to run a list for that across each parallel sub-list.
@@javierperezmarin4121 Thank you both, indeed, Javier, I am using Revit 2021 today, Dynamo Revit 2.6.2.15772 and until I used your settings parameters got added, but their Parameter Group wasn't respected, they all came in under the same group.

@@AussieBIMGuru another question: I wanted to add a parameter inside a family in Discipline: Structural, type of Parameter: reinforcement length; in group parameter: Dimensions, how should the colums in spreadsheet .xslx be named? tks.
@@AussieBIMGuru I'm confused, I tried to do it, but it doesn't work. I wanted to add a shared parameter in all families in Structural Rebar Shapes folder. The warning given say "Warning: SharedParameter.Add operation failed. Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "Revit.Properties.Resources.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "OrchidRB" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed." I think it is happening because there is no match between the columns . Can you help me?
That warning sounds like a programming error (I do not recognize it). I would go to Dynamo forums or Erfajo's github for help, it might be a bug or API limitation.
This is great! I need to add 65 parameters to over 400 families, so I have recreated your script and got it to work with Dynamo 2.6 for 1 file (using Document.Current) But I'm struggling to get this one to work. I'm sure 2.3 is quicker than manually doing the task, but before I do that, have you updated your scrip for the new Orchid nodes?
No i dont typically upgrade my scripts, especially for orchid as the nodes seem to change in level management. I still do most work in 2020/2.3. Try swapping L2 to L1 and L1 to no levels. I recall that was needed in some builds.
@@AussieBIMGuru Thanks Mate it worked! I'll share the updated script on the dynamo forum so those able to get Orchid can use it for Dynamo 2.6. Thanks again!
Dynamo 2.3 is only available in revit 2020, so if you ran this on 2019 or before version of family files it would update the files when they are opened to 2020.
Great work .. thank u for the valued information .. Can I ask if there's a way to add SP to multiple families but with the Revit itself ? (I'm not a Dynamo user) ... thanks in advance
You could run from the project but you would need to programatically open the family documents from the model, run the code and then load them back in - quite different. My custom package (Crumple) has nodes that can achieve this.
I want to ask if I have to use Excel. Can I use an existing Revit shared parameters TXT file instead? Because I want to ensure the consistency of GUIDs.
how to run Orchid in the Revit 2023 version? It's always automatically deleted from my computer when I try to download the samples, which is detected as viruss.
Hrm not quite sure, havent encountered that before so might be a firewall issue at your work. Either check with IT if its work, or log an issue on erfajo's github if not.
OPENS AND CLOSES rfa FILES BUT DOES NOT ADD PARAMETERS Hi Gavin, I've tried to use your workflow for adding parameters to multiple families but it does not add new parameters to families.

(Adding parameters to a single file works well)
I seem to recall the list levels were changed after i made this video by the author. Try replacing @L2s with @L1s and removing @L1s with longest lacing.
Hi Gavin, thanks for the great video! I am experiencing an error though and can't seem to find the answer to it. It works flawlessly when used on families from the default content library, however, when I want to apply this on families I am already using in a project (that have also some parameters already in, fx. from the supplier) on the SharedParameter.Add node I get this warning ''The referenced object is not valid, possibly because it has been deleted from the database, or its creation was undone'' and it does not work. Thanks in advance for any tips :)
I would suggest running the script anew or from dynamo player. Typically this workflow only really suits 1 run per active dynamo session in my experience. See if that gives desired result
Hi, Gavin. Thanks for making this useful video! I followed your script but my script only allows me to add the shared parameter to the first .rfa file. Do you have any idea why this happens?
The main things that may cause this are the level management in the add node, or the lacing. Make sure the lacing is set to longest, and try reducing the levels by 1 in the add parameter node (so @l2 becomes @l1, @l1 becomes none etc.). Some versions of Orchid seem to have alternative behaviour for node inputs.
Levels instruct a node how to work across lists. So if you have two simple lists and you do L1/L2, it will say 'for each element in the list (@l1), work across the other list (@l2). The challenge here is that typically custom nodes wont always work with levels correctly, as within the node there is list comprehension built in. I would go to erfajos github and lodge a query about this on the issues board so he can clarify the correct levels combination in this scenario.
@@AussieBIMGuru Hey, Gavin hope everything finds you well!
