Is it possible to create a line based family with two levels in it.
So what I am trying to accomplish is basically to create a family that will indicate the walls that are the fire and smoke barriers. I don't want to do this with wall type mainly just because a wall is fire rated or built using a certain assembly does not mean it is THE fire barrier for the compartment. We will frequently build an entire building with 2 hour fire walls... but we still need to indicate on code plans where the different compartments are. We also want these barriers to be visible on most plans so we find it easiest to just have some sort of model object that traces the wall to indicate this.
The problem occurs when I have a particularly tall space. I have added a reference plane to control the height of the object manually in these cases but I have users that are constantly forgetting to adjust the height. What I would like to do is have two levels in a line based family so that similar to the wall it's height at least can be determined by multiple levels. I want it to remain line based so it can be placed by just tracing around walls AND I would like its height to be level based.
Can anyone think of a work around?
