Family Improvements

[Wish List System]

Summary: Families should have a control for rotation (not just flip/mirror), and controls for nested elements, eg. Labels; Also, families currently loaded in memory should be accessible from any open project, rather than manually loading them into the current one

This is a list of wishes. This makes it more difficult to vote on or to rank.
-Family Rotation Control: The space bar makes rotation during placement part of the Revit operation. There are also face based options for auto rotation. Nested elements can also be controlled parametrically. It's just necessary to add a reference line and angle parameter to the family.
-Accessibility: What does loaded in memory mean? I can see the advantage of having a palette outside of the project. I typically drag-n-drop from windows folders. Families shouldn't automatically be added to projects or other families though.
