Adaptptive Arch Family Problems

[BugFinder]

I found a good tutorial here for how to make an adaptive arch and even provides a download of the final product but since it is 2020 format and I onluy have 2019, I decided to give the tutorial a go.

I am up to 7:20 in the tutorial where I have to add a formulato make H1 parameter equal the HR parameter.

When I add the formula in as per the video, I get an error:

"A reporting parameter can be used in a formula only if it's dimension references are all to host elements in the family"

Considering my family type parameters look identical to the video, I don't understand why this error appears (almost the same apart from the default elevation constraint but I'm not sure where that came from...

This is from the tutorial:

and this is mine:

Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening.  From what I can see, the reporting parameter (HR) should be reporting therefore should be correct.

There's no host in this family, so you can't use a Reporting Parameter in this fashion (e.g. in a Formula).  I'm not even sure why the tutorial is instructing you to create Reporting Parameter/Dimension.  Seems purposeless.  Are you sure you are following the right tutorial?

Sorry about my silent video, must be very hard to follow.

You just need to make those 3 points adaptive.
