Your question is not clear at all. Are you talking about hiding it in a schedule? Yes - you can hide that column that is used in a calculation. Which you could have answered by trying it out.

Again, this question is not clear. If you are creating the family, then you are adding parameters and formula's during the creation. Why would you want to hide them? Do you mean when you insert a family into a project that you want to hide the properties of the family then? That answer is no.

I'm guessing you want the parameters hidden so users can't mess with them. No, there is no way to do that. What I do is put '-Calc' (or something like it) in the parameter name, and group them in 'Other'. You can still see them, but you have to scroll to the bottom of the properties list.

Yes, I mean when I insert a family into a project, I want to hide the properties of the family. As you said, still "Other" group also coming in the bottom of the property pallete. We will expect this in the future versions. Thank You, Regards, Satheeshbabu S

I don't believe you will ever see these hidden because they are the controls. Far better to teach your staff how to properly use the program.

That post on the techtalk site appears to show one of the undocumented items that hides in Revit. There are several of these that may be for future use. What is interesting are these:
- If you are in the project and use the “Load Family” button to load the family, the parameter visibility will work as desired.
- If you are in the family and use the “Load into Project” button to load the family into the open project, the parameters may not be hidden.
Also interesting is that if you use the built in shared parameter file editor, this information is not accessible and the 1/0 switch is always set to 1. There is very little documentation on the formatting of this txt file and the file tells you not to edit it manually so I suggest you be aware of possible problems.
I have not tested this process personally.
