    <title>idea View-specific Family (visibility) parameter en Revit Ideas</title>
    <link>https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/view-specific-family-visibility-parameter/idi-p/7289740</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;The initial idea is to have a Family parameter to switch visibility of elements in a Family depending on the view. So if I have a very detailed Family on the first floor and this Family is visible on the second floor as well, I don't want to see all details of that family on the second floor-view. If I had a view-specific visibility parameter, I could assign this to the Family elements of which I want to control the visibility. On the view first floor, I would switch this parameter on and on the view second floor, I would switch it off. For example, I could create a masking region in the Family to hide stuff I don't want to see in every view and assign it the view-specific visibility parameter.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;View-specific parameters can do more than just manage visibility. For example, assign different colors / materials in different views. This would open a whole new level of flexibility.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This idea may be somewhere else too, but I don't have time to look for it. &amp;nbsp;This would be very useful for doors, which might need to show as closed in RCP, partially open in plan, and fully open in a 3d view.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This is exactly what i need! I'm trying to build a structural wood column family that will show as a filled in box on the associated view when cut through the cut plane, and as an 'X' to show as a point load from above when there is a column on the level above that lands on a beam in my associated view. This requires the family to be within the view extents of both my floor plan 1 and floor plan 2, for example, at the same time. There's no way to show different settings for specific detail components within a family per view. So if i turn off the 'cut through' post visibility in my floor plan 1, it also won't show in my floor plan 2, which is not what i want. Being able to have view specific yes/no parameters would REALLY help me on this one!&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Side note, to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1674827"&gt;@jkidder&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;, i beleive this was an idea for Revit 2016 in this forum, but it since has been closed due to lack of support. I'm hoping this can get looked at again, because i think it would add an incredible amount of customization options for families that they're lacking now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
