    Default Changing a project parameter from instance to type

    Hi,

    I recently was walked through how to set up some project parameters so I could add a second project address to a second titleblock family in a Revit 2014 project (which the client split into two separate projects--however I needed to keep everything in one file).

    Unfortunately, I'm finding I need to type the project address in manually for every sheet.

    I opened Project Parameters and found that the parameter in question is set to "instance" rather that "type". I assuming now it should be "type" so that I can type the address once and have it show up on all sheets. Unfortunately, though, the buttons marked "type" and "instance" are grayed out and I can't change them.

    How do I change them?

    Thanks,
    Derek

    If you don't want to change the value on each Sheet make it a Project Information and not a Sheet one

    Also, it will work if the parameter is set to Instance but has "Values aligned by group type" checked.
