It's like RAM in your computer. Turn it off and what is stored there is gone. It gets re-calculated when the schedule is opened and if elements are changed (related elements).<br /><br />See my previous reply to Saran regarding exporting/importing data as a possible solution.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-84494515346004395022017-04-12T10:47:26.566-07:002017-04-12T10:47:26.566-07:00Saran - Nothing has been built into Revit to allow...Saran - Nothing has been built into Revit to allow that to happen in the Family Editor but there are other ways to combine parameters through 3rd party tools. Perhaps you can just display the separate parameters in the project together either with a tag that combines them or in a schedule or both.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-16914497633812443402017-04-12T03:31:16.837-07:002017-04-12T03:31:16.837-07:00Is this possible to have this concatenate tool ins...Is this possible to have this concatenate tool inside Revit family to merge two or more text parameter SARANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456652559503345373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-32437589783643903762016-05-24T08:28:27.201-07:002016-05-24T08:28:27.201-07:00Peter - Row Resize works when you customize the he...Peter - Row Resize works when you customize the header portion of the schedule.

The Calculate Parameter can live in a schedule and tag now because it only occurs in play, in the schedule or tag. It isn't stored within the Database table for the associated element(s) so it can't be called on ad hoc.<br /><br />It's like a query and report combined, which is what a really schedule is, if we compare it to an application like MS Access. Now a tag can behave the same way. Neither are calling on a stored valued in the database to just display, they (Revit) are calculating the value themselves, on the fly.<br /><br />If/when they put some energy into working out what underlying database changes need to done in order to calculate and store these <i>live values</i> we'll get true <i>combination</i> of data. Perhaps Global Parameters will lead to that happening sooner than later.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-24068127391749106692016-04-22T12:16:52.748-07:002016-04-22T12:16:52.748-07:00This is NOT a Concatenate tool.

There is a difference between combining text in a column of a schedule and actually concatenating parameters.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15255593968252877048noreply@blogger.com
