I have searched AUGI, but I cannot find any info on this request: can/should wall's height be tied to a Ceiling Height shared parameter? The typcial T.I. project always has a relatively uniform ceiling height.
The desire is to have 6 walls tied right to Ceiling Height, some other wall types (e.g. fired rated) all the way to structural deck, and some (acoustic) to have wall framing to deck but wall finish to be tied to ceiling height. I can force the created walls to do this, but how about a default setting.
I created a CLG HT shared parameter, and a CLG HT reference plane, but I cannot sort out how to link them. I have a sneaking suspicion that this may not be a good idea. Any thoughts on wall heights in your template?
Should this CLG HT be it's own level? Then, the Top of Wall contraint can be set to CLG HT. The thing is, what if your project has three floors? That sounds like too many levels, thus the attempt at shared paramters.
THANK YOU for thiking this over.
