davian Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hi all, I'm starting with complex objects in Revit 2010, great! How I can get a parameter from the host, for example: I need the wall thickness in a formula to calculate a parameter in a window family. Thank you in advance Davide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviteer Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I know this has been requested to the developers, I hope to see something like it in future versions! What I have done as a workaround is creating reference planes, dimensioning them with a by-instance parameter, using it in formulas. Once the family is placed, the reference planes will have handles that manipulate the value of the parameter. I'm not sure if you can lock the planes to geometry, though. I hope this helps. Cheers, William. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just lock the geometry in the window family to the wall's surfaces. Try http://www.augi.com for all the world's Revit experts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
