Problem with dimension while Changing Family type

[YairaGabay]

I’ve download or create a Casework family type object and decided to change the family type to Furniture type.
By default, in a Furniture type family, when giving dimensions to the object I don’t get the object's height and in Casework type I do get the Hight of the object.
 In this case, after changing family’s type I continue to get the object's height as in a Casework.
 Is it possible to change this behavior so that I will not get the Object’s height?
Thanks

The phrasing of your question isn't exactly clear as to the problem that you are experiencing but let's take a stab anyway...

Casework, as I believe that you may be aware, has Depth, Height, and Width included as Built-in parameters.

Furniture has none of those.

When the family was casework it probably used those D/H/W Parameters associated with something in the family. These exist in the casework template (as labeled dimension controls to reference planes).

When you change family categories any of the built-in parameters become family parameters in the family (assuming that the new category doesn't also use built-in parameters of the same name) and can be edited, renamed, removed, etc. if they have a value in them or are otherwise in use in the family as a labeled dimension control, if not they are simply deleted from the family.

My guess is that the height value is being used in the family somewhere, got converted when you changed categories, and is therefore being reported to you.

That's about as far as I can go without more information or the family file to look at.

Thanks A LOT !
You helped me solve the problem and I want to say to you BIG BIG Thanks
I'm  using the height parameter  and according to your great explanation I removed it and add my own parameter
and it solve the problem ‌‌‌‌‌‌
I was not aware to the "rules" of these build in parameters 
I've learned from you a very important lesson
Again BIG BIG and one more BIG Thanks

No problem.

And By the way, this is the correct Forum for posts related to Revit Architecture and Architectural related questions. You were redirected here as being the correct place to go for help in this case, then chastised for doing the very thing you were told you should do and I'm sorry that was your introduction to getting help through here.

Happy Drafting

Requesting from someone not to crosspost the same question is not chastising someone...it is to:

1. it is simply to advise that someone not to post the same question more than once on the same forum or across several forums. 
2. it is to redirect other forum visitors to the same post in the event it has been marked as solved elsewhere. Therefore the Links to the same question by the same forum visitor were provided.

Apologies,
I did not mean to make a mess.
I'm new to this forum and did not know what to do and whether posting in one forum goes to other forums as well
Thanks for pointing me out, I'll know so for next time
Thank you and sorry

Again, No Problem.
Everyone was new out here at some point in time and had to work their way through how it works and what the rules are.

In time perhaps you'll be one of the ones providing help... that's the way this thing works 🙂

Have a wonderful day
