Obviously you don't take direction very well.  The Help menu will work IF YOU USE IT!

Please don't come here and expect instant knowledge.  The people that answer questions here are very giving but we expect the user to put in some effort and appreciate the directions we try to give.

 As a teacher or someone who is helping - you should know better -for a new user to be attempt to learn the language of Revit is hard and if your answer to all the problem is go to the help menu, then you are much like me a teach your-self kind of person. - So take a step back and realize that when someone is asking a lot of question that does not mean i want to tell me exactly what to do, i want to know what you are trying to tell me. the Words Parameter, Filters, Shared parameter are used in many ways and if you don't know them and you just tell someone add a parameter in a family, when just starting to use the program its hard "Master" - so please if in the future you get another student like myself "baby step" like talking to a child. it will make you a better teacher and me a better student.

THANK YOU

Dprado, sorry but you don't have a point, when you says "i'm new to Revit and i have no clue what identity parameter is or how to do it?" he answered "That's why you go to your help menu first.... you need some fundametal knowledge first." so  you must go to the Help menu or the tutorials and try to find out what do you need, "As a teacher or someone who is helping - you should know better -for a new user to be attempt to learn the language of Revit is hard" well, he's not a teacher and this is not a classroom, he is only one person who try to help (if he could) in this site, but there are some many people and some many questions and we have our work too, we do this because we want, no one pays us, like you said "when just starting to use the program its hard "Master" so that's one reason to check the Help and/or Tutorial.

see the images, i hope this can help you...

Quoting dprado from 2008-09-17 11:01:37

"

yes but that does help when u can connect that to the SCHEDULES.

so again that help menu doesn't have any of the information that i need for the schedules that i'm trying to do, i just worked around my problem thank you again for the help.

"

 

The two things you are looking for in Help are "Object Styles" and "Shared Parameters".  Something that may not be mentioned is that only master categories can schedule.  Sub-Categories only really help you define styles and visibility for a group of elements in a category.

 Good Luck, and keep at it

 

edit: didn't realise this thread got so out of hand.
