Categories Allowing Shared Parameters - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

Shared parameters are particularly useful when you want to create a schedule that displays various family
categories; without a shared parameter, you cannot do this. If you create a shared parameter and add it to
the desired family categories, you can then create a schedule with these categories. This is called creating a
multi-category schedule in Revit Architecture.
Shared parameters are stored in a file independent of any family file or Revit Architecture project; this allows
you to access the file from different families or projects.
