Setting up Shared Parameter Files

You can create shared parameters in the project environment or in the Family Editor. Shared parameters are
saved in a text file; you can then place this file in a shared area on your network to allow others to access
it.
Shared parameters are organized in groups that you create to assist with categorization. For example, you
might create a group called electrical for specific electrical parameters or a hardware group for specific
hardware parameters. You can create as many groups and parameters as desired.
Your session of Revit Architecture can reference only one shared parameter file at a time. If there are other
shared parameters in a different file that you want in the active shared parameter file, you need to export
the parameters to the active file.
