    Default Constraints and Parameter in Family

    I created a Electrical Fixture Family and I am having a bit of difficulty controlling the placement height parameter of the two plates (in elevation) (see attached)

    Basically this family has two wall mounted plates that I am trying to control the placement height independently, but its not working because of a constraint conflict. I tried to figure it out but im not getting any where.

    Any ideas? Thanks...

    Hey there mr6jam,

    Try this and see if ti is what you are loking for.
    Seems to work Ok Now.

    I think some of the dims were referencing the ref planes which were not locked to the fitting. I also had to add a dim to the bevel edge to keep it constained to the required width.



    Cheers

    Thank you very much for your time! Works like a charm! I just hope I understand what you did and can do it myself in the future...
