Simple question - Is there a way to change the depth of a solid extrusion using parameters & reference planes?

I attached a simple example. It has 3 different family types in it.
1x1x1
2x1x3
2x3x5

The numbers are the sizes of the Top, Side & Height I am trying to obtain. The Top & Side are easy. Its the Height that I cannot get to change.

Thanks!

I believe it is a parameter under the properties of the extrusion.

I'm not finding it.

You need to go to the elevation view where your height parameter is and lock the extrusion to the ref plane you have created. Be sure to select the ref plane first, then the edge of the extrusion then click the little padlock that appears.

Aligning the extrusion to the height reference plane then locking worked.

Thanks!!!
