    Question Can Revit grips be given min/max limits to the end user?

    All in the title really. I have a revit family that can stretch using grips but the item is only designed to be within a lower and upper dimension limit.

    Is this possible. I can't seem to be able to find this after searching.

    I know I can do it via having the user entering a value in the parameter and having it ignored if under/over the limits but what about when using grips?

    You can dimension a parameter to the weak or strong refplane/line for your grips but have the model attached to a refplane that is set to "not a reference" with the dimension to this refplane having the formula with the "grip" dimension parameter in it to suit the min/max criteria.
    The grips will be like normal but the model will follow the formula - outcome might not be what you think is viable for the end user (ie: grips will sometimes be "outside" of the family)

    Ah that's brilliant got it working. thanks Alex. I am also adding a model text to become visible when the user enters a value higher than the allowed limit.

    Ta!
