Voltage and Number of Pole
Parameters—Instance vs. Type
Revit MEP has a little-known feature that allows you to specify circuit
information when the Voltage and Number Of Poles parameters are set
to Instance when you create your circuits. The family lists the available
voltage definitions for the project. If those parameters are set to Type,
you will not have this choice. Refer to the following screenshot for an
example.
View and Sheet Parameters
Views and sheets are system families, so you need to use project parameters
to include additional information or functionality in them. This type of
information may be necessary for construction documentation or simply for
organizingyourprojectformoreefficientworkflow.Dependingontheiruse,
these parameters may need to be shared parameters.
One of the more common parameters for views is the Sub-Discipline
parameter. This parameter allows you to assign a subdiscipline value to
the properties of any view to establish a secondary level of organization
within the Project Browser. This parameter is already established in the
default template files provided with Revit MEP 2015. For more information
on using this parameter and other alternatives for Project Browser
organization, refer to Chapter 2, “Creating an Effective Project Template.”
Much of the information that appears on a sheet border is common to
every sheet. If the parameters that hold this information were unique to
each sheet, it would be time-consuming to make certain changes. Project
parameters that are applied to the Project Information category can be
