We have a client who wants their RFI/ASI/PR PDF documents linked to their Revit models. We have to cloud the areas/components that the documents affect, and then provide a link to the document. So far, I have two options:
1. Cloud the areas and tag the clouds, then create a separate schedule with a listing of all RFI's/ASI's/Pr's and their associated links. Users would have to open the schedule and find the document name to open the actual PDF.
2. Cloud the areas and tag the clouds. Add a URL parameter to the cloud revision tag and allow the user to open the URL from the properties palette.
Option 2 would be preferable because the users would not have to open up a separate schedule, but I am having trouble with adding the parameters to the tags. Editing the tag family and adding the URL instance parameter is easy enough, but any instance parameters that I add to the tag will not display in the properties palette. The only way that I can add a URL parameter (or really any paramter) to the tag, is by making it a type parameter and opening the type proprties. The biggest problem with this is that I would need a separate type for every RFI/ASI/PR URL. Does anyone know if what I want to do is possible? Should I just make a schedule?
