shared parameters from consultants

[LP Design]

Thanks Jeff, you are right. I was not being clear about deleting the shared file. I simply meant that the shared parameters file is not required for the objects to continue to function. I am NOT suggesting that you delete the shared parameters file after each use.

As most of the users here said, you do not need to share your SP file with other consultants as they will have different BIM objects with their internal requirements for INFORMATION to be attached (via SPs). Yes, It would be NICE to have a common language for parameter naming but I don't think the concensus can ever be achieved unless the team is asked to follow NBIM OR ANZRS OR any other standard that covers parameter naming convention. IMHO, the only time the team will have to share SP file is when everyone is using a common TitleBlock family with some SPs in it. You will have to load those SPs in project files in order to fill values for those SPs in TB family. Another instance where you may need to access consultant's SP file, as someone here said, is when you want to tag elements (and show SP values in tag) modelled in consultant's file. For schedules you don't need SP file.
