Adding reaction parameters to structural members

Published date: 2008-Aug-18
ID: TS1068104

Applies to:
Revit® Structure 2009
Revit® Structure 2008

Issue

When you imported your file from a third-part analysis program into Revit® Structure, you noticed that your structural members have end-reaction parameters. In your default template files, these parameters do not exist. You want to know how to add the parameters without having to import them from the analysis program.

Solution

To add reaction parameters to the default template file

  1. Click Settings menu > Project Parameters > Add.
  2. Select Shared Parameter and then click Select.
  3. Browse to the following file:

    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\RST 2009\Imperial Library\Annotations\Structural\Structural Framing Tag-w-Reaction Parameters.txt.

  4. Select one of the parameters in the file and click OK.
  5. In the Parameter Properties, select the Categories to which you want to add the parameter.
  6. In the Parameter Data panel, select a Parameter Group and set it to Instance.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Repeat this process for each parameter that you want to add.
