Hi

Any help greatfully received.

I have added a Shared Parameter to a door type, specifing that it has a Vison Panel, an alternative type does not have the parameter added. I am now trying to get a Door tag to display the characters 'VP' in those door types that have the parameter included and have a 'blank' space ( i.e. nothing) in the tag of those doors that do not. I have tried  adding an on/off visibility parameter which  works to a point, the doors with VP value added show the 'VP' characters correctly but the type without the value show a '?' symbol. not the 'blank' .

Anyone have an idea to achieve this or an alternative (better) solution.?

Sound like you need to load the shared parameter into the project

Manage Tab -> Project Parameters -> Add -> Shared Parameter -> Select

Why not just add the missing paramter to the other door type vs using shared parameters?
