define-shared-parameter
Create a parameter collection, group, and parameter definition.
Lists the available spec types, creates a collection, creates a group inside it, defines a parameter against a spec and group, and reads the parameter back to confirm its GUID.
1
listSpecs
getSpecs
List the available spec types. A parameter's spec is an id, not a friendly name like "length", so it has to be resolved before a definition can be created.
2
createParameterCollection
createCollection
Create the collection that scopes this set of parameters. Collections are the unit products subscribe to, so one per standard rather than one per project.
3
createParameterGroup
createGroup
Create a group within the collection. Groups are how a large standard stays navigable once it holds hundreds of parameters.
4
defineParameter
createParameter
Define the parameter against the resolved spec and group, bound to the categories and disciplines it applies to. Instance parameters vary per placed element; type parameters vary per family type.
5
confirmParameter
getParameter
Read the parameter back to confirm the definition and capture its GUID, which is the identifier that follows the parameter into every model that consumes the collection.
