So today I started playing around with our doors. We created a bunch of family catalogs a number of years ago. At that time we added a "Frame Material" parameter to our door families. To when I was looking around trying to figure out what makes them tick, I notice that there seems to be a newly added parameter called Frame Material" Associated with doors. Funny thing is I can't delete. It's an instance based parameter while the one we added a number of years back was a Type Parameter as that's how we wanted to do it.
Can anyone tell me if this is something that Adesk added as a hard coded parameter in say 2013 or 2014, heck maybe even 2012. I don't have those older versions. My bigger question is how do I get rid of it so people are filling out the wrong parameter. We want our doors to be more type based with a combination of type and instance parameter, such as frame material and frame finish. Where the material want's to always be say hollow metal, but the color (paint) can vary by door.
Thanks in advance.
