    <description>&lt;P&gt;When you make a complex family it's hard to give a precise name to some parameters, then you can use the Tooltip to give a single explanation, that's fine.&amp;nbsp; Some times it would be better to include a capture or drawing, this a secondary idea.&amp;nbsp; But moreover, there are some explanations needed to understand the whole family, like a &lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;whole-family-tooltip&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Therefore, this idea is to enable a place to give instructions for the whole family, including a picture, either for users or even for oneself after a while&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Probably you should create a tutorial view in your detail library or template with the family pre-placed with text objects describing your family's functionality.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you'd like instructions saved into the family itself, make a text parameter and write in it.&amp;nbsp; Lock this text by writing in the formula column (surrounded by quotes).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;yes, sure, I could also make a youtube video, or write a book about it, or even give an URL that brings you to a website where I can explain extensively..&amp;nbsp; but that's not the idea, if you have to go somewhere else, nobody will watch it.&amp;nbsp; It should be an easy thing to see, just like the ribbon tooltips, pe.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You're right with the instructions parameter, that's what we're doing.&amp;nbsp; And if you create a multiline-text you'll be able to write more than a few words.&amp;nbsp; You can write me if you want more tricks, even with images included, but this forum is not about OOTB&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thanks anyway&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/6834550"&gt;@ks2_wmb&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Okay, I actually really like this idea.&amp;nbsp; Here's my suggestion for implementation:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Provide a new "Family Info" parameter.&amp;nbsp; This parameter should be:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Automatically locked &lt;EM&gt;(non-editable in the project environment)&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Display in the properties palette alongside instance parameters&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Actually give me two parameters, one that's visible in the type editing window, one that's visible in the properties palette -- but both should be type-locked&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Have its own section, directly above "Other" but below other project parameters (or also above "IFC Parameters"?)&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;In the family editor, this section should be listed below "Other"&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Support line breaks, like Project Address parameter&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Span across both project browser columns -- use the project browser section heading as the only label&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;</description>
