Shared Parameters allow for additional usability compared to unshared parameters.Refer to Typical Door Type and Typical Door Instance Parameters (on the followingpages) for complete lists of all shared and unshared parameters.RevitWorks door families shared parameters are as below:

For Consistency:Allows families to be swapped with differentfamilies without an instance parameterchanging back to its default value. Includes:

All instance parameters under "Graphics"group (including "Swing Angle")

All instance parameters under "Other"

group (including alignment parameters)

Calculation Parameters:All parameters starting with "rw_calc" areinternal calculation parameters for withinthe RevitWork families. Please do notamend them.

For Tagging and Scheduling:Allows parameters to be within tags as well asscheduled. Includes:

All type parameters under "Construction"group.

All parameters under "Dimension" group.

Major Family Wide Parameters:Structural TolerancePanel ThicknessJamb Width

-Symbolic lines in elevation to show the swing direction

-Frames to framed doors (ie: Aluminium framed glass doors)

-All glass within doors

-The door jamb

-The door panel (except for glass doors)

-Symbolic panel lines in plan

Typical Door Instance ParametersExample: Single Side Hinged Door

Double Doors

Pivot Doors

Sliding Doors

+ve = away from wall-ve = towards wall

Read only - dependant on family

wide parameter "Jamb DepthSpecified" and instance parameter"Jamb Depth to Match Wall Width".

Show in 3d and elevations.

Parameters appear onlywhen the component exists.

Flat Jambs:No Jambs:

Surface Slider Flat Jambs:

Bifold Doors

allows wider symbolicrepresentation in plans

Stacking Doors

allows design options toshow doors closed or openin plans, 3d views etc.

Only when singledoor at end

Only where 2panel leaf at end

Graphic Variations

Alignment Variations

Parameters appear only when thecomponent exists. Refer TypicalDoor Type Parameters for Paneland Frame materials.

Example: Single Side Hinged Door

Instance Parameter"Jamb Depth" equalsthis parameter if instance parameter "JambDepth to Match Wall Width" is not ticked.

Family WideParameters - editfamily to change

= Panel Thickness (Family Wide Parameter)

= Rough Height and Rough Width to allow forconsistency with curtain panel doors forscheduling (Ie. curtain panel doors don't haveusable Rough Width or Rough Heightparameters).

Parameters appear only when thecomponent exists.

Typical Door Type Parameters

Rough Width = Panel Width(s) + Tolerances +Jamb Width*2Rough Height = Panel Height + Tolerances +Jamb Width

Type Parameter"Jamb Head Width" equalsthis parameter if type parameter "Jamb HeadWidth to Match Jamb Width" is not ticked.

Double 2 way Swing Doors(including double pivot doors)

Stop Jamb Doors

If ticked, Type Parameter "Jamb Head Width"equals "Jamb Width", if unticked, "Jamb HeadWidth" equals "Jamb Head Width Specified".

Curtain Panel Door Differences

The differences between curtain panel doors and standard doors can be summarised as follows: Curtain panel door dimensions are always instance parameters.

(i.e. they are dependant on the curtain panel size). Curtain panel doors can not report on the wall thickness they are embedded into.

The RevitWorks curtain panel door parameters relate to, and improve these differences.

Instance Parameter DifferencesRefer to Typical Door Instance Parameters for full parameter lists

Manually set for ease of use of alignment parameters. Also allows

for"Jamb Depth to Match Wall Width" jamb depth override.

Type Parameter DifferencesRefer to Typical Door Type Parameters for full parameter lists

These parameters are Revit system parameters that do not

report any lengths and can not be linked to any other parameters.They are ignored by RevitWorks (unfortunately they can not bedeleted).

Dimension Variations

These parameters report the door's Rough Width and RoughHeight (curtain panel doors don't come with real Rough Widthor Rough Height parameters). These are consistent with theRevitWorks standard doors to allow for scheduling.(i.e. Width = Panel Width(s) + Tolerances + Jamb Width*2.Height = Panel Height + Tolerances + Jamb Width)
