Use instance and type parameters

In Revit, parameters control the data behind your model’s geometry, determining everything from door sizes and materials to cost and manufacturers. Choosing the correct type of parameter, is crucial for effective modelling and data management. In this video, you'll use door schedules to demonstrate the differences between instance and type parameters. By directly editing data in schedules and models, you'll understand when and how to apply each parameter type, streamlining your workflow and ensuring accuracy throughout your projects.

After completing this video, you'll be able to:
•    Describe the difference between instance and type parameters.
•    Modify parameters in both model and schedule environments.
•    Describe the practical implications of parameter types on project workflows.
•    Use schedule tools such as Highlight in Model to link data entries to physical elements and validate input accuracy.
