Lineset Types

Beyond the core "Is Lineset" flag, a rigging family can describe what kind of lineset it is through a set of Yes/No shared parameters. These flags do not change how the placement and sync commands behave — they exist so that linesets can be filtered, tagged, and scheduled by type in your Revit schedules and views.

Type flag	Describes
Motorized / Hoisted	A powered hoist line.
Static	A fixed, non-moving line.
Counterweight	A manually operated counterweight line set.
Stage Drape	A line carrying stage masking or a drape.
Acoustic Drape	A line carrying acoustic drapery.

How the flags are stored

Each flag is a Yes/No shared parameter carried by the rigging family. As with the core lineset parameters, the add-in maps these by GUID through the parameter mapping file, so families from different libraries can use different parameter names and still be understood.

Note

Type flags are descriptive metadata. Setting or clearing them does not move a lineset or change its distance — use them to drive schedules, filters, and tags in your own Revit documentation.
