I am in 2019 but that wasnt a choice in the Prefix area and it refused to let me post unless I choose one.
I have created a structural beam family with 2 types, slotted and solid and I have a type material parameter set for each type. I need to represent the slots in the slotted type. I have set the slots up as void extrusions in an array because the size of the beam changes and I have not been able to set a parameter that flexes the array with the length. Not even sure if that is possible but it is not my main concern right now.
I need to set the array up to be visible only when the SLOTTED Family type is used and I dont want it to show in the SOLID. I thought I could set this up as a type parameter and set the SOLID to 0. NOPE, Revit doesnt like that at all.
I am not completely new to families and parameters, but I am still early in the learning phase. I thought I could set up a visibility yes/no parameter but I clearly have no idea how to write the formula or even if what I am trying to do is possible. I have been scouring the web and found very few things about formulas at all and the ones I have found are written in a way I just dont seem to understand.
I may need to set them up as two separate families to get this to work, Im not sure, hence me being here trying to solicit help.
I am attaching the family and any help is greatly appreciated.
