Parameter for "top of window"

Marcus.Isacsson — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 09:14:15 GMT

Hi fellas!

I'm trying to create a parameter that reads "Sill Height" + "Frame Height" so that I'm able to read "Top of window" (from floor). But I haven't found a way to achieve this (can't read "Sill Height" inside the family editor), any tips?

Just create a new Length parameter and use a formula within the Family, to add the other two parameters together.

But I can't add "Sill height", the family just contains "Default sill height"? 😕

You can edit the window family and add this parameter, "share parameters" is better.

The Window Instance Properties in the Project reports both the Head Height as well as Sill Height.

Embarrasing, found this parameter after a while. I blame the sea of parameters we're using 🙂
