    <title>idea Host Family to Read-Only or &amp;quot;Report&amp;quot; the parameter of a Nested Family en Revit Ideas</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;I need to be able to create a "Reporting Parameter" in a host family that does a "Read-Only" on the parameter of a nested family.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For example, I have a window family that has nested trim casing families that I can swap out from within the project using a family label parameter. &amp;nbsp;Each of these swap-able nested families has the same "trim width" parameter. &amp;nbsp;The window family has geometry that needs to change size based on how big the nested casing family is. &amp;nbsp;If the nested casing family can "report" it's width to the host family, then the host family can change the size of the geometry&amp;nbsp;based on&amp;nbsp;the size of the nested family&amp;nbsp;using a instance parameter in the host family that "reads" the parameter of the nested family without changing the nested family.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There are so many families that I've created that would benefit from this feature!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
