Exporting and importing object parameters

Pato99 · ‎2017-02-09

I have a range of electrical objects (+50), each time I make an addition I need to add a parameter manually. I wish there was a way to export that parameter or all parameters as an xml then import them into the next object along with it's values.

Please also vote for my whishes, as 200 votes in 6 months is an impossible target, don't be a bystander:
1. Relative file locations | 2. Auto text in Publishing | 3. Model types to Grasshopper | 4. Index Numbers in Search | 5. Step through Elevations | 6. Rhino is better than ArchiCAD

What you should do is create your own Subtype for your electrical objects. Parameters in this Subtype will appear in all child objects of the Subtype (in blue). If some of the parameters are not used in particle Objects, then they can be hidden and removed from parameter transfer.

If You exported the library to xml You can of course copy the parameters section between objects...but subtype is the easiest way.
