I have this sink (see attached image) and I've nested in the generic annotations that are shown representing Hot and Cold.
I need to be able to have an instance parameter that gives you the option to flip those so that the hot water symbol is always on the left regardless of how the family has been mirrored or rotated. For the time being I have a yes/no parameter which is basically two sets of those hot and colds on top of eachother. In the type parameters in the project you check a box and uncheck the other one depening on which arrangement of hot/cold orientations you want on. It works fine but I am curious about how the Family Type Parameter works which is a pulldown option I believe. I'd rather have the user have one parameter box and have a pulldown menu and select something like "Option 1" or "Option 2"
Can someone walk me through how to set up a Family Type parameter for generic annotations in a nested family?
Thanks.
