Adjustable Window Sill

[terliamULH7S]

Hello! I have edited an existing window family and added a brick rowlock sill to it and I'm trying to figure out of it's possible to make it automatically adjust to different heights. I made it a sweep, so it already adjusts to widths it just doesn't move up or down with the window. I'm using revit 2023.

Use extrusion, sweeps are limited to expand just along a path

So if I turn it into an extrusion will I be able to have it adjust to the width automatically as well when the dimensions change?

Reflecting I realize this might have been a silly question. I'm assuming with the extrusion I can lock it to a reference plane, and it will move when those planes move?

Yes!

I wouldn't add this brick to the Window since it's not part of the Window in real life and nor would it be the window installers job to put it in.  The brick installer would do that finish work. 

...use a wall sweep to keep it simple.

I'm for some reason running into the same issue where the constraint isn't being recognized vertically (it is at least horizontally so yay!) and I'm being asked to remove it but I'm assuming that's a user error and not an issue with the logic.

I have over 70 windows to put in the model almost all of them with different dimensions so I was trying to avoid putting them in one by one, but this might just have to be what I do. Thank you!

So you'll have over 70 brick sills to add.  That's doable. Shouldn't take that long. And consider the upside. You'll have a better BIM in the end. 😉

....we've used a slightly sloped floor for this used as well.

do you have an updated version of this family?
