The Sync Fab Parameters command allows Revit Shared Parameters to be mapped to Fabrication properties.


Prerequisites:

One or more Shared Parameters created and assigned to one or more Categories, per the following:

  1. Type:  All Shared Parameters should be of type Text unless it is a dimension which needs to be of type Length.


  1. Naming:  
    • For parameters of type Text, the Shared Parameter should be named with the prefix MDSK_FabPropSync_ followed by the name of the desired property to sync.  
      • Example: Given a Fabrication property of Cost, the name of the Revit Shared Parameter would be: 

MDSK_FabPropSync_Cost


    • For parameters of type Length, the Shared Parameter should be named with the prefix; MDSK_FabPropSync_D_ followed by the name of the desired property to sync.  
      • Example: Given a Fabrication property of Width, the name of the Revit Shared Parameter would be:

MDSK_FabPropSync_D_Width


In Revit:

  • In the ribbon, navigate to the BIMrx tab >> BIMrx Fabrication panel >> Sync Fab Parameters command:


A BIMrx Fabrication - Tooltip dialog box will pop up with helpful information on how this feature works:


Revit will proceed to copy Fabrication Property values into the created Shared Parameter.
