Running PropertyWizard

Use the PropertyWizard button on the Add-Ins toolbar to activate PropertyWizard and create formulas.

You activate PropertyWizard for each Revit project file individually: just click the PropertyWizard button.

The button will also launch the PropertyWizard main window, which lists the formulas you have in the project. You can add new formulas, and edit and delete your existing ones.

The Add and Edit buttons open the Formula window, where you can specify your new formula, or edit the settings of your existing formula.

Creating a formula

Each PropertyWizard formula has three parts:

1. Select the Category – the formula will apply to all elements of this category.
2. Type in the name of the Target Property – the parameter you want to set.
3. Type in the Formula.

Target Property

The Target Property can be an Instance property or a Type property.

Formula

In the formula, you can type in:

• Operators and Functions, like +, sin() and if().
• Numbers and Integers. Numbers have a decimal point, integers are whole numbers.
• Lengths (using the suffixes ‘mm’, ‘m’ or ‘ft’).
• Areas (using the suffix ‘sqm’ or 'sqft').
• Text strings, delimited by double-quotes.
• The literal values ‘true’ and ‘false’ (which should be typed without the quotes).
• Names of source properties. The formula will use the value of the property.

Source Properties

You can refer to:

• Properties of the target element.
• Nested properties of the target element (e.g. properties of a Door’s Level or a Wall’s Type).
• API properties of the target element or nested elements (i.e. properties from the Revit API).
• Project Information properties.
