Revit Column family height changing

[brianwclayton1969]

Good evening, I have a column that I added a steel plate to and created a family. Now I can't make the height adjustment through the Properties box or the Type properties box without going into the EDIT FAMILY tab.

I have set the reference plane and nothing is locked, this is free moving. I am using a Revit HSS column already created I added a plate and created a family, now I want to make it adjustable in height, I couldn't find the place to add an additional level so I added the Reference plane.

See attached Revit family, it's in version 23

Thanks

you can try this and see if helps?

There's a documented workaround to do this.  See this video.  There are others on-line.

Ennujozlagam,

What did you do to make the column adjustable?

Thanks

You ought to use the Generic Model two level based.rft (Revit Family Template). 

[ennujozlagam]

first edit your column family and add dimensions as shown

second load into your rfa file and add dimensions  height

How 'bout just using the OOTB HSS? It's fully parametric.

Barth,

I used the family OOTB and changed a couple of things, it works. 

Thanks
