I am having trouble with a family with several of parameters. This is a sun shade that goes over windows and doors. I would like to make it a bit more sophisticated than it is now.
1) The bottom of the louver casement height varies. In the family I built, the base level was named the traditional "Ref. Level". If inserted in a project with a different level name the Louver Casement Parameter won't show a change. I've seen this problem on families that are downloaded and never really solved it conclusively. Probably something embarassingly obvious.
2) The bracing offset I can only get to work in one direction off center. This moves around according to the window placement. Revit doesn't like a negative dimension. Is there a way to have it move in either direction from center?
3) The other option is that I'd like the brace to be able to be above the louver casement with same (or similar) brace offset parameter.
Probably Revit can get all this working in one family, but I've gotten stumped on the offset in only one direction from center. I can make 4 families from this one, but it just doesn't some Revitive to do it that way.
Appreciate your time in looking at it. You're probably all at AU having a grand time.
