I doubt this is possible, but I have to ask the question. I am working with Revit 9.1 and creating a new level head, which I would use to kind of solve the multiple level with same name issue. My idea would be to create a label that would have be an instance rather than a type for the level name text, so that once I place that level, I would be able to input my own text for the level name. As I am finding out, it is not letting me create a new label within this family. Is there a way around it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If any further clarification is needed, do not hessitate to let me know.

The only thing i can think of trying is nesting a generic annotation family with a shared parameter already inserted into the level head family and seeing if it will allow you to link the parameters. But its highly probably that this won't work. Give it a try and let us know how you go.

The question then becomes, how do you get a shared parameter into the level head family? The only parameters in there are for the Name and Elevation. You can get into the Family Types and add parameters, but that doesn't seem to be doing anything. At this time I will give up. I will just create individual Level Head Families for my most common Repeated Levels and then apply them as needed. If anyone comes up with another suggestion, just let me know and I will give it a try. Thank you for your response Mr. Spot.

I wrote that so it sounding the wrong way... try nesting a generic annotation family with a shared parameter already inserted ---- into the level head family and see if the parameter will persist into the new family.

It may not seem like I read it right, but I did try it out the way you suggested. I am still not able to get it to function the way I want it to, but I made a compromise, because I got it to work one way. I loaded a Generic Annotation into the level head family. The Generic Annotation comprised of multiple family types with different text, ie: T.O. Masonry, T.O. Steel and so on. Then I am able to create a level head family, that I term as a multi level head, in which the generic annotation is added. I can then place that generic annotation as a symbol, which then allows me to add a parameter to it. Then I am able to go into the family types, again create the multiple names I most commonly would use, TO Steel, TO Masonry and so on. Which allows me to just load in one level head, but with all the text options I would like to use. Then, I go into the project and edit the existing level heads to read what I want it to by duplicating the marker and giving it a new name and symbol. It seems like a run around, but it does what I need it to do and works fairly well. Again Thank you for your help.
