I appreciate your time Martin. I think you are misunderstanding the stage of development we are at in this process though, and how familiar we are already with the concepts you mention. We are much further along than I think you realize, and even still, knowing what we do, there is absolutely still value in what I suggest.

 

I'm happy that Fabrication Parts exists and all of our struggles with them are directly related to how new it is. But we are all sitting on much untapped potential in Vanilla Revit for MEP purposes and we've managed to coax a lot of that potential out.

 

The ability to read the size of the trunk is actually a fairly basic feature that should not be mutually exclusive to either fab parts of families, but both. You wouldn't suggest that having an offset on Fabrication Parts makes an offset on families useless would you? And if families were missing this capability, you would not say that the issue is solved because fab parts have it, correct?

 

Autodesk has to be careful not to over-promise what Fabrication Parts will bring us in the future. That's understandable, but a result of that is that we too find ourselves avoiding over-promising what it can deliver to our shop and management. I have demonstrated what families can do for us though. My original post outlines the fundamental weak spot in Revit families and RFA files. So that's why I suggest what I do.

 

I can discuss what we are doing in a more detailed fashion through a more direct messaging method if it is important I do that.
