I am looking for resolution to an issue i'm having. I have tried to bring a family in from manufacturer website and i am getting the following error when trying to load. "The shared parameter "eb8052e8-d47c-4de2-992a-5b7f89756df4" cannot be added with name "Product Page URL" and type "Text" because it conflicts with the existing name "Product Page URL" and type "URL"." Can any one help out with this issue. I am using Revit 2018

If you can open the family by itself in Revit, do so, and delete the offending parameter. Then load it into your project.
Your project has a shared parameter "Product Page URL" that has a URL type, and your family has a shared parameter of the same name, but different type. -
Ok, I understand that much but im not finding where to find it in my project and also how to correct the problem so that i can load the family and use it.Comment

Shared parameters are on the Manage tab. Product Page URL is under the "Identity Data" group.
But I would not delete the parameter there.
I would delete it in the family. (If you want, you can add it back to the family with a "URL" type.)Comment

I have done that and also when looking at it it says it is a URL type.Comment

Okay, I'm stumped.Comment

I'm pretty sure URL is a built-in parameter that can't be deleted or changed.Comment

You can make URL shared parameters too. I think in this case its just very unlucky that there is already a parameter with the same GUID. Or both parameters come from the same manufacturers families and they changed the shared parameter type from Text to URL at some point.. (They would have had to edit this in their shared parameter file).
The solution is; Dont load crap families that you find on the internet...."One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

Conflicting shared parameters
Hey,Originally posted by wildirish317 View Post
I'm also trying to get a family in our template and I et the following error:
The shared parameter "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" cannot be added with name "00_isq_hoogte_min_2" and type "Length" because it conflicts with the existing name "REX.Content.Identity.RebarHooks" and type "Text".
Strange thing is that I can't find the "00_isq_hoogte_min_2" parameter in the family nor can I find the "REX.Content.Identity.RebarHooks" in our template. Even if I'd delete all parameters from the family it still gives the error. Any idea's?

Sometimes there is a conflict between parameters in families, and project parameters. Maybe check the project parameters to see if there is one with that name.
If not, the problem is likely that there is a parameter with a different "Name", but with a duplicate "GUID". This is especially likely since the GUID listed above is all zeros. There's probably more than one lame family creator, or buggy addin and they both inserted zeros.Comment
