This toggles off the visibility of the other office.

In the Family Types dialog, I added an Office Integer (type) parameter and assigned it a value of one of the offices.

Each one has a visibility parameter tied to it, corresponding to the office.

I have placed four text elements on top of each other.

You can use a Generic Annotation component (in this example) or text for this process. There is a video link for additional reference at the end of the blog. I have a title block and I want to prepopulate the various office location information, but I only want to see one office per title block and I want it to update on all title blocks in the project. Note: You could also use a Label tied to a Generic Annotation family, but it will list all GA families in the title block, which in this case included the NFC Visibility GA family which was undesired, so this process is a workaround. The way around that is to use an Integer parameter to control what you see. Instance parameters and type parameters control aspects of all elements in a model.There may be times when you have multiple items you want to control the visibility of, but don’t want to have to toggle on and off several visibility boxes. Elements have 2 sets of properties that control their appearance and behavior: type properties and instance properties. Each instance of an element is defined and controlled by the family.Įach element you place in a drawing is an instance of a family type. The family contains the geometric definition of the element and the parameters used by the element. Elements in Revit are also referred to as families.

About Element Behavior in Revit Revit uses 3 types of elements in projects: model elements, datum elements, and view-specific elements.

These relationships are created either automatically by the software or by you as you work. Parametric modeling refers to the relationships among all elements in a project that enable the coordination and change management that Revit provides.
