First off, I apologize if this has been asked and answered in the past, but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone know if it's possible to tag the "offset" parameter that comes default with some (but not all) family types? It isn't one of the parameters that can be edited in the family editor, so I'm not sure how to go about tagging it if it's even possible. I know I could create a new parameter to be tagged, but I've already been using the offset parameter and it would be easier to just tag that. Thanks.

Unfortch, you cannot. It crops up now and again. because as a workaround some people build in an "Elevation" or "Height Offset" Shared parameter in the family. The caveat there is that the "offset" parameter still works, and just makes the value for your shared parameter not correct, since it is now using both offsets. Its an issue i would love to see addressed, so that it was either consistantly USEABLE, or not there at all and left to the end users in Content Creation.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for your reply, though.
