Hi Everyone
I require a
revit link to be able to be angled according to the slope of the terrain.
It is an standard
steel structure that will be copied many times (up to 200 times) in the main
model, with each instance at a different angle (slope).
I am unable
to use a family as steel members do not remain constrained once linked into the
main model. The family “breaks”. I also need to be able to extract a bill of quantities
of nested families in the main model, which I cannot do.
I have
accomplished this by creating a revit project with reference planes that are
grouped and constraining beams to these planes.
The angled
reference plane has a Tilt global parameter, which allows me to change the
slope and have the model tilt correctly.
The problem
comes in when I link it into my main model. As the tilt parameter is a global
parameter, it is not accessible in the main model. That means I have to save up
to 200 versions of my structure model and specify each with their slope and
link into the main model. A lot of work…
Is there
some way to use a shared parameter for the angular dimension in my project?
It seems
that only global parameters are allowed.
Does anyone
have any advice?
Thank you!!
