Back with more questions about Sill Sealer Family

I just got back to the office from holiday and the "Generic Model: Adaptive" is not what I'm looking for. Here are some screen grabs of what I have. I would like to use this model and add grips to the end so I may place the sealer on the top of the poured foundation and then drag it to fit my length. How may I go about doing this. It is currently built as a Generic Model, with the Extrusion Start at 0' 0" and the Extrusion End at 0' 0 1/16".  Revit Family with Grips.JPGRevit Family with Grips 2.JPG

See attached.  Ask if you have any questions.

 

Edit: two approaches.  Both work with straight segments only so other recommendations on using sweep or railing stands.

Toan,

 

The first image is exactly what I want. I want the family to be "stretchable" if that makes sense. I cannot figure out how to build mine with the grips on the end. Is there somewhere you can point me too that will show me how to add the grips? I have searched and searched but I cannot find anything on how to model a family that will maintain the 7 1/2" w x 1/16" h, while still being able to pull it to a desired length.

 

I was able to create the instanced parameter which allowed me to stretch it to fit one wall (38' 6"), but upon creating another instance of the sill sealer for the next wall in my project it kept the length at 38' 6". I have also tried to build it as a wall but revit will not let me build anything shorter than 1 1/2".

 

EDIT: It may help to think of this as a structural framing family. Like how I have this 2x12 modeled for the garage door header.Revit Family with Grips Example for Toan.JPG

Did you open the Revit file attached?

I didn't see it. Sorry. Thanks! I'd still love to know how you did it so I don't have to ask these questions all the time. Is there a resource you can point me towards so I can more wholly understand the process?

 

EDIT: Thanks Toan, I was just messing around with it and noticed it was Generic Model: Line Based. I'll keep that in mind and I've saved the models you made for me. Is it alright if I use these in my day to day work? I would really appreciate being able to pop these in and out at my leisure.

See screencast for both types: normal generic and line based.  Between the two, I would pick line based.

Feel free to use the families if they help.

To provide the grips in a project, you must...

 

1. Create reference planes or lines within the family,

2. Dimension the length between the reference planes or lines instead of directly on the edges of the extrusion,

3. Make sure it's an INSTANCE parameter (you can't stretch a TYPE parameter with grips), and

4. Align/lock the edges of your extrusion to those reference planes or lines, so that they get moved along also.

I used the line based. Thanks for taking the time to help me.
