Mine also uses a Start, Middle and End type to manage turning on and off the dot and arrow for multi-segment paths.<br /><br />It all starts at the Label Family - there are three stock families in the Annotation library that comes with Revit For example: Label Annotation 3-32.rfa is one such family. It has a text parameter/label though so a new version of the family is needed that is assigned to a Length Shared Parameter instead, using some other name than Length.<br /><br />The annotation family is nested into the parent Line Based family. The annotation family must be mapped to the same Shared Parameter in the host family so MyLength can determine its value from the Length parameter built in by Revit.<br /><br />Once the annotation is nested, parameter mapped it can be loaded into a project. You should find the shared parameter among the available parameters in the schedule at this point.<br /><br />Does this get you any closer?Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-60431670477659115512017-07-21T09:23:02.990-07:002017-07-21T09:23:02.990-07:00i am having trouble with the scheduling.

I am having trouble with the label that shows the distance of the line segment to show properly in the schedule. I think my disconnect is where I create the shared parameter. I am able to create a shared parameter but when I schedule it, it reads the shared parameter name instead of the value of the line segment that it represents. any help would be greatly appreciated.ledge33https://www.blogger.com/profile/06777811434619005039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-39461096102021018042014-03-31T06:48:14.185-07:002014-03-31T06:48:14.185-07:00very nice tips for egress path families.

Also posted on my blog here:<br />http://revitcat.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/escape-path-egress-travel-distance.html<br /><br />My adaptive component has a counter to preset how many segments you want - that way you can avoid the potential of user error that could happen in a chain of 2 point components.<br />Tim WaldockRevitCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421472010756742971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-14128310605312256612012-08-19T09:54:12.488-07:002012-08-19T09:54:12.488-07:00I added that to the text yesterday though it does ...I added that to the text yesterday though it does bring back the total length tagging issue, the advantage of building a multi-point AC family.

This will eliminate the inconvenience of having to click a specific number of points to create the path. Using two points in the family and using "chain" in the projects provides more flexibility.Alfredo Medinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998597439608444010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-33660492917615095542012-08-17T13:32:14.809-07:002012-08-17T13:32:14.809-07:00I see them embedded in all three browsers I use IE...I see them embedded in all three browsers I use IE9, Chrome and Firefox.
