Creating parametric ladder family with angle

Hello,
I created a ladder family based on this video for reference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgPpwfEn93c.
The tutorial is really good reference.
However, I want to lean the ladder against a wall, but I can't adjust the angle.
I would appreciate it if someone could provide some advice.

I would set the stair family to workplane and check off always vertical. Then load the family into the project. Create the reference angle plane in the section and attach the ladder family to the reference plane. Check the video sample

Hello syman2000,

Thank you for your quick response. I was able to tilt the ladder using the method you provided.

However, in my current project, I need to position a significant number of ladders with slightly different angles. It would be ideal if I could easily set the tilt using parameters or commands like 'rotate.' Do you know of any good approach for this?

I wanted to kick the tires on this before I popped my mouth off.  You place reference planes along the slope you want the ladder to follow and use that to define your ladder geometry.  See the attached family I played with.

Check Work Plane-Based and Shared and Uncheck Always Vertical, and then nest the Ladder Family into an Adaptive Family Template and host it to a Ref. Point that is hosted/driven by an Adaptive Point.  Control the Ref. Point Rotation via an Instance Parameter.

If you want the leaning built into the parameter, I would load the existing family you have created and add it to the new family. Add reference line and set the reference line surface as your plane. Add angle parameter to the reference plane. Once loading the family, place it on the reference line. See video how to do it.

Share the family here.

The method you suggested seems very promising.
I haven't tried it yet, but it's been very informative as one approach to consider.
Thank you so much.

Thank you for the multiple responses.
The video was very clear and helpful.
I hope you continue to offer advice to beginners in the future.

Or you could simply rotate it however you want.

Hello ToanDN,

Thank you for your advice.
The ladder created in the video has a nested family structure, and when loaded directly into the project, it couldn't be rotated.
Based on the advice from two others, I further embedded it into the family and, by setting a reference line and reference plane, I was able to add an angle parameter.
If there are other ways to change the angle, please let me know.

Have a good day!

Uncheck Always Vertical in the Rung Family.

Share the family here and I see if it can be made to be rotated freely in the project using rotate tool
