    Default trouble with adding a parameter to an array of chairs around a table

    hi all,

    we're trying to reverse engineer a table with chairs (ok, delete the 3D guts and just use plan views) and i've got everything working except the radius of the chair array. i have attached a couple images and the files in case anyone can help out. this is the standard revit dining room table w chairs object.

    thank,
    chris

    You need to actually ad another radius parameter bu just clicking on the arrayed chair circumference it displays the temporary dimension just click on the icon to make them permanent.Now label it as radius parameter again.

    Now if you flex your model through the family types dialogue box. you get the chair radius also flexing as per your table radius.

    i have attached your file modifying the radius parameter. have a look at it ,it works fine.

    Kind Regards,

    Aliya
