Parameter Transfer - User Guide & Reference

The Parameter Transfer utility (Parameters category) Transfers values between parameters (source to destination), maps text notes to elements via location intersection, and transfers element parameters to filled region overrides..

1. Overview & Key Capabilities

The Parameter Transfer tool is designed to improve workflow efficiency by automating standard tasks. Key capabilities include:

• Transfers values between parameters (source to destination), maps text notes to elements via location intersection, and transfers element parameters to filled region overrides.

2. Detailed Step-by-Step Usage

Revit API Integration

• Key API Components: Parameter retrieval and value assignment (parameter.Set()), mapping spatial bounds intersections (BoundingBoxIsWithin filters).
• Transaction Handling: All modifications are packaged into a single Revit API transaction. If any error occurs, the changes are rolled back automatically to preserve model integrity.

[!TIP] Best Practice Tip: Use this to map room parameter values to the equipment contained inside. Double check that shared parameters are loaded.
