Revit Snippet: How to create “Family Type” parameters

See how quickly you can create Family Type parameters to change types of nested components within you Revit family. This special family parameter type will let you use the same family for a lot more required conditions because each nested component can appear entirely differently for each type of its host family.

Hi, so this is amazing however I just wanted to note to anyone who needs to schedule this. Go to the family you want to automate - Manage - Shared Parameters, create a group and click to create shared parameter, under :Type of parameter" select the type of family that will be changing example if its physical doors you are changing between - select doors. Create a shared parameter linked to this parameter under the family types. When you have created it youll see it just replicates what your dropdown is currently doing. Type in the Formula place =*Graphic Name insert with case sensitive* and enter. It will then take on the role of copying the graphically changing data and can be placed on schedules in your projects. You are welcome :D

I am create one bath set family. It contains sink, taps and drains. These all family comes under one family Category like plumbing. I have created three family type parameter just like above in video. But in sink parameter all families come tap and drain also. How to filter sink names only visible in that parameter without changing tap and drain category?
If there any formula please tell me?
