Cannot control Elevation of an object - disappearing parameter

[danezeq]

i cannot find the "Elevation" parameter in the Famitly types window (inside family editor), thus i cannot schedule it.

Besides, Why does shedule fields window dont allow to add Elevation field? is it beacuse it's instance parameter and not type parameter?

this is the missing parameter:

How do you lock the bottom grip to the level?

i use dynamo on a partner's laptop, i have no idea about how it works. it's the first time to even open it.

Edit: i've now opend your dyn file on my pc - and it works well. the thing is it dynamo 2020

The project guys, they still work with revit 2019 - it's dynamo 1.3

i have to comply

You can download 2.01 from dynamobim.org
But it's an easy startup exercise for u to do in 1.3

- With the project open...
- start dynamo from the manage tab and make new....
- on the menu open packages (has a search bar)
- type the name shown on the nodes I gave u 1 after the other
- then connect them to each other by click the out arrow on the node and then the in arrow on the next

i used your dynamo file.

The purpose of that dynomo thing wat to make a connection between Elevation parameter to "Elevation from level" parameter so it can be shedulable right? Beacuse as you can see, they're still not connected.

is it beacuse of the this warnning in dynamo?

I think i get the idea now: the dynamo script should be run every time i want to fill in the elevation column in the schedules by the right values.

it wont be updated "live" like a normal parameter. i thought it's just a permanent fix.

Drag the bottom grip to the level and lock it in an elevation view.
