Hello,

Here is the issue I may need some input on. 

At the medium-sized, regional company I work at with several hundred buildings, we track departments, equipment, occupants and area for spaces.  The kicker is some parameters travel with the user, some paramters stay with the space. 

Example,  we have a Room #101 with a telephone, furniture, security parameters, finishes.  A staff member moves into the office, he brings parameters like the department he works in, occupancy (job role), phone #, pc with him. These parameters travel with him from space to space as he moves up the corporate ladder.  The Room parameters stay in-place.

We are thinking about building an annotation family to track the items that move with the person, and when you insert the family into a space (Revit Area) he assumes the room parameters.  The tag would contain info. like room #, finishes and everything that stays with the room.  Basically, we want to be able to merge and un-merge parameters depending on the space use.

Does this make sense to anyone and is it a reasonable goal using shared parameters or some other device in Revit?

I don't really understand what you are trying to accomplish.

"A staff member moves into the office, he brings parameters like the department he works in, occupancy (job role), phone #, pc with him."- Are you using a family to represent a person that will be occupying the room?  When you place this family into the room you want the room parameters to attach to the family or if you delete the family out the parameters go away?  Why? Are you scheduling this information?  Personally the room information should be apart of the room and your family should include the other information of the staff member.

There is no way that I know of that these items can be part of "the room" but....

 

We often use an invisible detail family.  That family could be assigned different parameters and that could be tagged and sceduled accordingly.  If this family was placed in a room, it can be associated with the room.   Then a schedule of these parameters, sorted by rooms, can be placed next to the room schedule and appear as one.  Obviously, the family can be moved from room to room.
