\f0 This file contains 2 classes: AddParameterToFamily and AddParameterToFamilies. AddParameterToFamily implements the Execute method and be used to add parameters to the active family document. AddParameterToFamilies implements the Execute method and be used to add parameters to all families in the \ldblquote AutoParameter_Families\rdblquote folder under \ldblquote My Documents\rdblquote folder\f1 .\par

\pard\ltrpar\fi-360\li360\tx360\cf0\f0 1.\tab In order to auto-add parameters to family files, user should prepare the parameter files: family parameter file and shared parameter file.\f1\par
|
|
\pard\ltrpar\li360\f0 The family parameter file should be named as \ldblquote familyParameter.txt\rdblquote and put in the same folder as the sample DLL. \f1\par
|
|
\f0 The shared parameter file should be named as \ldblquote sharedParameter.txt\rdblquote and put in the same folder as the sample DLL.\f1\par
|
|
\f0 Here is a sample for how to organize the files:\f1\par

\pard\ltrpar\fi-360\li360\tx360\f0 2.\tab The format for the parameter files: for shared parameter file, it follows the format of Revit shared parameter file; for family parameter file, it has a similar format: Every line starts with \ldblquote #\rdblquote or \ldblquote *\rdblquote will be treated as the comment line and will be skipped, every parameter line should follow this format: \ldblquote ParamName\tab ParamGroup\tab ParamType\tab IsInstance\rdblquote , and be separated by spaces\f1 .\par
