I"ve created a parametric family component that works well and with its width as an instance parameter.
I'd like to place it and specify the width simply by picking two points, instead of having to pick a point at the midpoint of where I want it, measure relevant adjacent objects to determine the desired width, and then edit its properties to change its width to match.
The Storefront and the Modeling Opening are placed with two points similarly to how I'd like my family component to work.
Thanks - Rusty
