parameters are specific to one family. You can also replace one shared parameter with another. See Family
Types on page 366.
Exporting Shared Parameters to a Shared Parameter File
You can export shared parameters to a new shared parameter file if the old parameter file is deleted, or if
there are shared parameters in a family or a project that are not in the current shared parameter file.
Before you can export them, you must already have added the shared parameters into a Revit Architecture
project file or family file. For more information on adding shared parameters, see
Adding Shared Parameters
to Families on page 444 and Project Parameters on page 447.
1 Create or open a shared parameter file.
For more information on creating shared parameter files, see Setting up Shared Parameter Files
on page 442.
2 Select a shared parameter in either a family or a project.
3 Click Modify.
4 In the Parameter Properties dialog, click Export.
NOTE The Export command is never enabled if the selected shared parameter is already in the current
shared parameter file.
An informational message appears informing you that the shared parameter will be exported
to the shared parameter file you set up in Step 1.
5 Click OK to complete the export.
