I’ve nested the letters Dp within a down pipe family, but depending on the wall I host it on, the Dp text displays incorrectly.
I’m well aware that in order for this to work, I need to nest 4x individual generic annotations within the down pipe family, and then rotate them individually to display corporeally.
To add to the complexity of the family, I would also like to control where I can potion the Dp text once imported in the project. In order for this to happen, I added shape handles to each nested Dp text, however what I've noticed is that even though the other Dp texts are switched off (using a yes/no parameter) I still see the shape handles.
Any way around this issue?
I did try adding the yes/no parameter to the Reference Lines that control the shape handles, but unfortunately that made no difference ![]()
File attached....

@tonkata hello, just to follow up @RDAOU (my idol) suggestion. based on my understanding is this you wanted it to be. please see screencast. thanks
RDAOU, I did consider adding a rotation parameter with only one generic annotation representing the DP text. I haven't had much success with rotation parameters, are you able to give me a few pointers in the best way to go about it?
ennujozlagam, The only problem with your solution is I lose complete control of my shaped handles, which means I can't manually position the DP text where I like ![]()
@tonkata so sorry about that, my apology. thanks
Thanks for the compliment my friend
See attached revit files (you .rvt and .rfa modified)
And your Dp text in the projects is now controlled using angle + distance (all other offsets deleted). I did add two text alignments
NOTE: All parameters which I added (Pipe Family) are instance...if you want to switch them to type go ahead and do so ... otherwise leave them instance parameter and right click select all instances in view or project to change all at the same time … up to you (ps: no need to edit the Dp nested family leave that as is)
Sorry I do not have Screencast on this computer... If you need help with rotation angle we can do that later when I get back to the Office
