Paramater help - Cover page objects  

I'm tweaking our cover page and have hit a snag -

Our usual cover page has the usual stuff - project name & address, date, phase (NFC, permit set) and we almost always have the client's information on the page.  I'd like to add it with a paramater similar to the Project Address paramater but can't figure out how to either copy the address paramater & rename it or make a new one that will pop up a nice text box so we can add the address information.  Is there a trick I'm missing with this or should it just be a basic text object on the page itself instead of the coverpage template?

Open your Cover Sheet and follow these steps:

Follow these steps:

In Shared Parameter:

Type in the Parameter Properties the: Parameter Name; Discipline (Common), Type of Para (Text)

select the Text "Label" and Select the Location of the shared parameter and add to Category Parameter and add the parameter to Label.

click ok..

adjust your text margins in your layout. Then Load to your RVT/RTE file

 

In Your Revit RTE/RVT proj:

In "Manage", "Project Parameter", "Add" 

In Parameter Properties - "Tick" shared Parameter and select the shared parameter you just made in shared parameter.txt file,

when the parameter appears in the Name (under Parameter Data)

"Tick" - Type

Discipline : Common

Type of Para: Identity Data

In Categories: "Tick" Project Information <----this is very important.

Click OK to all.

 

You will notice when you hover the Project Info Property Box, you will see your parameter ready to be filled up.

 

hope this helps

"Project Information" only appears if I select Instance for the paramater type.  Is that a typo or did I do something incorrectly?  The paramater does show up under the project info window so I know I'm pretty close.

 

edit - it seems to work though.  thanks =)
