Generic Family

[Pinky_Job-VEC]

Hi All,

I created a generic family for no fly zone. But for some reason, I can't control or change the depth when I load it into main project. If anyone has any idea how to solve this, please do let me asap. I have a big deadline tomorrow and it would help a lot. I notice the depth set to 1'-0" when I extruded. IS that the reason I cannot change the depth. I am attaching the family here.

Thanks!

Here is 2019 Family. The Family can now be sized (e.g. shaped) dynamically in the Project Environment via dragging Shape Handles, and/or by entering Dimension Values in the Parameter Fields.  Note that "t9" has been added and "t.length" is now a Reporting Parameter for overall length.

I have 1 more isssue with this family in regards to the graphics. I reduced the transparency of this family, but when I loaded it into the main project, It is solid and not transparent.
