Hello,

I am trying to coordinate our standard AutoCAD tags into Revit 2008.  I have not run into any trouble using shared parameters when I duplicated our wall type tags but now I am having trouble with my material tag.  I'm trying to add a shared paramter called "Finish Tag" and I went through the process- making the label and adding then selecting the shared paramter which showed up on the list just fine.  But after I click on OK and go back to the list, it no longer appears there.  Is this some kind of error/bug with material tags?  Because I repeated the process after changing family parameters to floor tag or wall tag and it worked just fine.

The only workaround I can think of right now is make the same material tag symbol but categorize it as wall, floor, etc tag instead of material tag so I can get my shared parameter to appear properly.  Should I continue down that path?  Or is there a solution to the material tag error?

Thanks in advance,

KS

EDIT- Sorry, the attached file has it categorize has a Floor tag at the moment (which works the way I want it to), so please change it to Material tag in order to see where I am coming from.
