To follow up my Twitter conservation with Martijn and Aaron, here’s my take on what could be a useful app to create shared type parameters for OmniClass parameters
If you want to use the existing family-wide parameters “OmniClass Number” and “OmniClass Title” then select the “Built-In Family Parameters” radio button.
But if you want to use your own shared parameters so that each family type can have its own OmniClass values, then select the other radio button, select your shared parameter file, the family type, and the text parameters from that shared parameter file that should receive the OmniClass data.
When you push the OK button, the two shared parameters would be created as Type parameters in the family (if they don’t already exist). The OmniCode data selected in the grid control would be set for those 2 parameters.
Is this what would be useful?
Now you are talkin… especially if its allowing the data from the Omniclass table to be used in the Shared Parameters. The one crummy thing about using the non-OOTB parameters is the omni number and the omni title are no longer tied. This wouldnt fix that, but it would help a bit.
The same here unfortunately does not work 2014 or 2013
This version worked in 2014 for Jose.

Thanks works great now….it’s a timely plugin just working on a buildingSmart workgroup in OZ on classification etc.
Will give some feedback when time allows
Thanks again
Cheers
Is this plugin available?
To be honest I haven’t looked at this tool in a long time, but I’ve put together an install for you to try. Could you let me know if it does what you’d like it to do?

Thanks for the replay. I can’t try it, because i’m using Revit 2014, and it is searching for the Revit Arquitecture 2013 folder. Is there an easy way to change it?
Hi Jose,
Could you email me a screenshot of your C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2014 folder?
Thanks

Hi, when I selected the “Shared Type Parameter” radio button, the Omniclass data went to the built-in family parameters and not to the shared type parameters. Don’t think that suppose to happen, right?
That feature was never implemented. Sorry for any confusion.
Is this plugin available?
it is not currently available but could be if that is something you are interested in purchasing
