hi
i'm getting mad
trying to understand how this union (which is probably a OOTB) works
the designer has made everything with sweep, even the cylinder(!!)
well, i tried to understand how they constraint the size to the hexagon but in vain
this fitting is not what i want because i want a family with type so a create a new one but... i don't know how to create the hexagon and make it change with the size on the fitting
does anyone know how to make this?

Edit the sweep and you will see that the profile is pre-loaded profile. You can access it by browsing to the Families, where you can edit the profile, or see how it's built. Or just create your own desired profile and load it into the family and replace it.
See above; just to elaborate a little in case, with 'browsing to the Families' Tim means that you can find the profile in your Project browser under Families -> Profiles -> "hexagon...(family name) or click Families (or parent directory), press cntr+F and search the profile name you can find/select in the sweep.
...to be honest, if you could open the family profile directly while editing the sweep from there could be a nice little improvement to Revit. Would make it a bit more intuitive.
No need to select the sweep, just select it and you can see the profile used.

i don't want to edit the profile, i want to change the size oif the porfile with parameter inside my union family...
on the RFA i joined i woprks but i didn't succeed to repeat this action to my new family
how can modify the lenght/dimension of the porfile... i don't wanna make several profile for each union size.

Then you need to create a new parameter in your family and associate that to the parameter that's in the nested profile family. You can then adjust the size directly from your family.
The dimensions of the profile are dynamic within the nested family. There's a parameter "Cote_S2" controlling the dynamic parameter in the main family, which is linked to a lookup table. Have a look inside the family > family types > manage lookup tables. You could export/edit this table I suppose. But maybe 'easiest' thing would be to break this family apart and delete the look up table/family formula's, that should give you a bit more control over the parameters. Also right click family type properties and remove the associated diameter parameter. Although that might not be what you want, as it will allow for some non-specified entries. For the length of the sweep you'd probably have to add a parameter in the main family, now it's drawn as 31mm. Then I guess add some <family type>/visibility parameters or parameters to control the profile type's 'Rayon'/'Diametre' in the main family . It's a bit tricky I suppose.
That's ofcourse another option, that could be a more accessible solution maybe depending on his family editing/building experience.
hi
"You could use profile by sketch instead then resize it in place when edit the sweep."
this is exactly what i'm trying to do
on extrusion of circle you have to make a dimension of it (diameter or radius) and you can modify it by assigning a parameter ton the circle but...
how does it work for a oprofile, i tried to make a dimension it doesn't work, i seeked for a case where to put a parameter in my extrusion but i didn't find one.... well how to make a profile sizely customable?
Phil
Hi, not exactly sure what you are trying to do so perhaps you could add some images for what you want. But the profiles in the family are already dynamic, you could just associate new parameters, see attached image... If you want to see how it's done you can edit/open the profile to check it out.
many thanks martijn
my brain should be smoked out, it didn't think to look at type properties !!!!!

the forum isn't the best way to remember old problems(a file on a computer is much more efficient!) but it works fine!! ![]()
