What is the Transfer to Parameters

The Transfer to Parameters allows you to permanently transfer properties from the DataView onto the associated model objects in Revit.

Configuring a Transfer to Parameters

• From BimSens main form, in the top toolbar, open the Transfer Dialogue 
• Select Model Transfer and click New Transfer

• In the selection menu, pick Transfer To Parameters. the Transfer Configuration Dialogue opens
• Give the transfer a Name
• Under the Scope tab, choose whether to run for the entire model or only selected items, and if you haven't already, configure an ID Match

• Under the Update tab map Columns from the DataView to Parameters from your Model. You can use Auto Map Fields to map Columns and Parameters by name
• Select options to:
• Ignore multiple rows match: the last matching row in the DataView will write the value. Deactivate this option to customise Aggregation method for each Mapping
• Ignore read-only parameters: to ignore errors when trying to write parameters that are read-only, otherwise Exception are thrown like for missing Parameter
• Terminate the Transfer when a Parameter is missing: ends the Transfer if a matched object doesn't have the required Parameter. Deactivate this option to choose a custom action when a Parameter is missing (see Missing Action in Transfer from Parameters)

Menu Location

You can choose to display your transfer directly in the toolbar or in a custom menu location from the Menu Location tab in the transfer configuration dialogue.
