Create Angle Parameter

I need assistance in creating an angle parameter for the attached Revit family. My goal is to rotate the family from it's center while keeping all other dimensions unchanged. If possible, could someone share a screen recording to guide me through the process? That would be incredibly helpful. Thank you!

You will need to host this family on a reference line (H plane) and associate this line to an angular parameter. At this point. the easiest option to do this is to nest this family into a host and place the ref line and angle parameter there.

 

You need to convert this family to work plane based

the reference line needs to be locked at its end to the intersection of the Vertical and Horizontal reference planes (pivot/rotation point)

Sorry again I do not have the same version of Revit you are using so here is a video on how to use the reference line to make families rotatable. 2022 Family also attached. Enable subtitles for the steps/instructions
