Missing or Outdated Parameters or Parameter Values

Problem

In an existing project, you discover missing or outdated parameters or parameter values, for example via the properties of a component after a pipe network calculation or due to missing or outdated values in placed labels.

Cause: Obsolete Parameters on Components

The parameter names and/or parameter definitions of the components in your existing project do not match the parameters currently used in the LINEAR software.

Solution

  1. Calculate the pipe network and then navigate to Analyse TabLabeling ....
  2. In the Labeling dialog, click on Create Parameters in Network Components.

This function writes the determined parameter values to the components of the pipe network and updates all parameter names and definitions. Family parameters that are defined differently are replaced. Family parameters with a new name and project parameters are added. Obsolete parameters remain on the component, but are no longer taken into account and can be removed manually if necessary.

Cause: Obsolete Parameters in the Label Family

You are using obsolete parameter names or definitions in your custom labels.

Solution

  1. Navigate to the Revit-RibbonLINEARAdministrationDrop-down List: Show Parameter File to ensure that you are using the latest parameter file.
  2. Open the faulty custom label family and check whether modified or renamed parameters are used. Use the following tables for this purpose:
