Assign a Global Parameter

You can assign global parameters to user-defined family parameters within an element.

Note: These features are available only to students and to Autodesk Maintenance and Desktop Subscription customers for Revit 2016 software releases.

1. Select the element and locate the user-defined parameter.
2. Click the button to the right of the parameter and its value.
   

   The Associate Global Parameter dialog opens.

   Non-reporting global parameters that match both discipline and parameter type are available for selection.

3. (Optional) Click Add Parameter to create a compatible global parameter.
4. Select a global parameter from the list to assign to the user-defined parameter.
5. Click OK.
Note: If you need to modify the value of a newly created global parameter, click Manage tab Settings panel (Global Parameters).
