Room Calculation Points

[DJHarrisEA6RG]

Is there a way to make the endpoint an instant parameter?  I know how to move the point around in the family, but it would be nice to be able to do it in the project.  It doesn't always show up in the correct location, to pick up the room.

No, but there is a workaround.

Add an invisible style model line with an instance parameter to control the length. Constrain one end to the location of your main element, the other end points toward where the room would be. When placing the family in the project, change the length parameter value above so that the midpoint of the line falls inside the room then the family will belong to the room.

This is a good work around, but it is not what I'm trying to do.  I want to be able to drag the endpoint to any location, not just make a line longer.  In my case changing the length of the line still doesn't put it in the room.

Thank you

The reason that you cannot drag that point in project is why a workaround is needed.
