I did the third delivery using the bench I designed for the second delivery. I opened the mother family to create new shared parameters.
In order to do so I used the command FAMILY TYPES - ADD - SHARED PARAMETER - SELECT - YES
In the Edit Shared Parameters window I clicked CREATE - (save the file ) - OK
Than EDIT and I creat a new group and you give a name to it. This group will have inside all the shared parameters.
Now it's possible creat the new parameters.
I opened every singol sub-family to assign the shared parameters that I created before. I started with the wood strips of the bench.
I delited all the old parameters that I gave to the strips in the second delivery. And than I added the new shared parameters using the command ADD - SHARED PARAMETERS - SELECT - (choose the group cretaed before and select the parameters we have to add)
Than I assigned the new shared parameters to the object.
I did the same thing for all the elements of the bench. Than I reopened the mother family to reload all the components.
I selected the sub-family - EXPORT - ( I fonded and selected the same elements with the shared parameters) - OPEN
I did these steps for all the elements.
I reopened the mother family to import in the project: LOAD IN TO PROJECT -------(before I have to create the new project: FILE - NEW - PROJECT).
I imported all the elements in the mother family.
And Finally : VIEW - SCHEDULES - ( category: generic models - OK) now i just have to add in the feelds of the schedules my shared parameters and all the proprierties that for me are important.

Ciao!
For this delivery I designed a facade, which has two different panels. The first panel is a standard wall panel which I could imagine in wood. First I opened the file Metric Curtain Wall Panel and Metric Generic Model floor based.
In the file Metric Curtain Wall Panel you can imediatly see the grid of one panel which becomes later on a piece of the facade (green lines). So I created an extrusion and alinged each side on the green lines and locking the relation so that I can later on change the measures of my grid and the panel changes, too. In addition to that I created a new reference plane in the floor level view and aligned the profundity of the panel closed with a lock. After that I add a Family Parameter called: Profondità Panello.
After that I used the Metric Generic Model floor based to create the second typ of panel. The theme of this panel is sustainability. I thought of a panel which works like a radiator. The panel consists out of pipes, maybe out of glas, which are filled with grey water, which can be warmed by the sun. In the winter the heat can be used directly as a kind of radiator in the houses, in the summer, the heat can be turned by using a water heat pump into energy. The panels each are connected with pipes and like this the water can be filled in and can be brought to the heat pump. It's similar to an alga-facade.
To create the "Radiator Panel" I first designed the single radiator in a Family File (Metric Generic Model floor based) while using extrusion and extrusion of a void volume.
Than I opened a New Metric Curtain Wall Panel File and load the item in the new file. I aligned it to the 3 reference planes and than I added the 4 connecting pipes while using the tool extrusion. I also added a new Parameter for the profundity for the panel (C_Profondita_ElementoRiscaldamento) while creating 2 reference planes and a quote.
While designing and trying to create the radiator panel I also tried to load the radiator item first a new family file (Metric Generic Model) and to build it there and than I load it into a Metric Curtain Wall Panel but that didn't work because I could create the belonging with the reference planes and the item. So when I loaded it into the grid of my face it didn't conform. Maybe they are missing the parameters which make the panel variabel but I couldn't figure out what exactly went wrong. That's why I simplyfied the Panel and build it with the family immediatly in the Metric Curtain Wall Panel File.
After that I opened a new Metric Project File and created a floor grid using the Grid Tool. Based on this I created with "architecture wall" a wall. To be able to add a Curtain Grid, I changed the Typ in the properties from Basic Wall to Curtain Wall. Than I added with the tool Curtain Grid the subdivison of facade.
Now I could while clicking on edit types select my panel as base for the face. So I choose my Wall Panel. Now while pressing the Tab button on the tastature, I can select each panel of my facade and to fill a few with my radiator panel I clicked once on the pin apearing while selecting a panel and now it's isolated I can change in properties the typ; from Wall Panel to Radiator Panel.
This is how I created my Facade... My problem: The Panel Radiator does not variate in the high. The connecting pipe I created in the Metric Curtain Wall panel changes but the Pipe of the family change.. I cannot align the extrusion on the Grid of the Panel File. Is this why it's floorbased? Or does I have to add a parameter of the high in the Family of the element of the Radiator? I did that but it doesn't works...

Ho fatto i "printscreen" della seconda e terza consegna insieme. . Allora vediamo il passo a passo..
1- facciamo una nuova famiglia di modello generio con base in una faccia e creerò il profilo della panchina.
2- Comincio a creare parametri condivisi che userò al fino di tutto il lavoro. sempre dimentico di qualcuno ma dopo lo inserisco. È una operazione che si può essere fatta a qualsiasi momento nel lavoro
3- creo una estrusione e disegno il profilo della panchina. il printscreen abasso non mostra ma ho creato un parametro per il raggio dellle curve e già ho messo dentro estrusione. non lo so si questa operazione fatta è la più corretta ma è funzionata. Ho già messo i parametri principale che reggono la panchina.
4- ho percebbuto che quelli parametri prima non erano sufficiente per la operazione e ho creato più parametri e piani di riferimenti di maniera a ricevere i fori .
5- Adesso ho disegnato i fori della panchina.
6- Faccio 3 tipi di famiglia di profilo di Panchina > 100x80x5 , 90x90x5, 100x80x5 Oro.
7- adesso apro una nuova famiglia per fare l'asta metallica che collegherà i profili della panchina.
8- Ripeto tutto il processo di creazione di parametri per fare l'asta
9- apro adesso una famiglia madre baseata sul solaio
10- e carico dentro le altre famiglie per formare la panchina
11- Creo piani di riferimenti con equidistanza per mettere poi un parametro di lunghezza
12- adesso carico l'asta d'oro.
13- e la metto nel foro del profilo della panchina.
14- poi allineo con il piano di riferimento.
15- Creo un parametro di lunghezza per la panchina e faccio un collegamento di parametri tra questo parametro e la lunghezza dell'asta.
16- attraverso il comando "array" creo le serie di profilo e creo un parametro di quantità
17- Creo di seguito una formula per il parametro di quantità di pezzi
18- Comincio a fare i diversi tipi di profili e di panchine per fare le schedule
19- Apro il gruppo per fare i tipi di profili e collegare al parametro di tipo di profilo di maniera a essere editabile poi in progetto
20- Apro un progetto per mettere la serie di panchine
21- e nel progetto le metto diverse tipi e differenti lunghezze.
22- creo una schedule, un schema, tabella di quantità
23- scelgo le colonne che entreranno nella tabella.
24 - Faccio una formula di costo 
e basta =)

Change the parameter in the file “LV_ DimaA” with the shared Parameter and delete parameter “DimaWidth”
In the next way:
Create the family “LV_Assi2” from “metric generic model” to do the storeys of the library.
In the “LV_progettoMultifunzione” change the unit project from mm to cm.
Then do the holes for mounting to all object
Holes have diameter of 8 mm.
Do first for “LV_DimaA” changing the extrusion of the dima
Then do holes for "LV_ProfileA" beginning with the first hole creating a "void form" and creating the parameter for the position.
So can change the position of the hole into the “LV_Multifunzione”.
Do the others holes in the same way.
Do the same for the “LV_ProfileB”
Create a new family the "threaded rod"
Now put into the project the rod and the spacer.
Now do the scheduling
Are added, to finish, the nuts at the ends of the threaded bars and optimize the measures of the spacers for the construction (some really vary slightly)

In this delivery we were asked to do a schedule of the parametric object used for the second one. The object I used is the cardboard made table shown in the headline image.
In order to do a schedule I had to change the parameters of every family that composed my old mother family. In the old families I had non-shared parameters, and in order to do a schedule I need shared-parameters. To do so I opened my old families and used the command PARAMETER PROPRIETIES this allowed me to create a SHARED PARAMETER sheet (f.1). The cool thing about this parameters is that they aren't just for one object but you can use it for every family you insert in your mother family. I created 2 shared parameters one is called "altezza" and the others "raggio"(f.2). This two parameters I think are enough to rapresent every object in my family. The main components of my table are cylinder so I think is right to use a ray and a height to parametrize them.
f.1
f.2
Once I reasigned the shared parameters to every component of my table all is left to do is to reload every component in the mother family. I don't have to compone all over again the design I can just double click on the sub-family in the left side menu and use the command LOAD FAMILY, this way I substitute the old one with the new one.
Now I have to create a new project and load in it my table. To do so I used the commands NEW PROJECT, METRIC. (f.3) I renamed the project Schedule_Tavolo. To load the family in the project I had to open the mother family and used the command LOAD INTO PROJECT, a window will pop up and ask me in which project I want to load my mother-family. Now I have my mother family in my new projcet. (f.4)
f.3
f.4
Now it's time to make a schedule. The first thing to do is to reload the components of my table just to make sure that the shared parameters were all inserted in the project. Then i have to click on the command SCHEDULE.
A window wil open and ask me the type of schedule I want, I have to choose GENERIC MODEL. (f.5) Then I have to choose which proprierties I want to show up in my table. In this case I chose: Family, Family and Type, Altezza, Raggio. (f.6). Then I can pick the way I want my table to be ordered with the menu SORTING GROUPING. (f.7)
f.5
f.6
f.7
I have just to press ok and my schedule is done. (f.8)
You can change the name of the schedule just by clicking beside VIEW NAME on the left side bar of the proprierties.
I wanted to insert the shared-parameter of the material, but I had problem once I imported it in the project, the material disappeared and the parameters won't show up.
