So this is one of the first families that I'm making, it's a project for a friend and I figured I'd take this as a chance to become familiar with making families. I'm designing and building a catio(cat patio), though I don't have all my final dimensions so I wanted to make parameters for everything so I can just input the dimensions when I get them. The catio will be located underneath the sloped ceiling of their patio cover, so I want to find a way to snap the studs to a sloped line using parameters. I'm aware there are much easier ways to do this, but as I said I'm using this as a learning opportunity and further my knowledge of Revit families. This is also one of my first forum posts, so sorry for any bad formatting. The family is made in Revit 2024, any help is appreciated.

Why don't you build it in the Project environment with Curtain Walls (Mullions for Studs/Empty System Panels for spaces)? Curtain Walls will Attach to a sloping target at Top/Bottom.
I want to use this project to better understand how to make families. I can see this being used in other applications, like seismic bracing or brace arms for medical supports in a hospital. I appreciate the suggestion for an alternate way to do this but if there's any way to do what I described that's what I'd like to do here.
Seismic bracing? I thought you were building a "cat house". Anyways, if you are trying to learn Revit - a BIM software - build the catio in the Project Environment. Structural Beams, Columns, Trusses and Braces are another tools you could use if you really want to "engineer" the cat house.
The seismic bracing was referencing other application I could use the technique I am asking about, otherwise it's unrelated to the catio. Like I've said, I'm doing it this way for the sake of learning how to do it. Is there a way I can do this in the family environment at all? That's really all I need to know
Yah, there's a way to do it. Open the nested stud Family and make the end angle cut via a void. Control that void's angle via an Instance Parameter and then Associate that angle Parameter to a Host/Parent Family Parameter.
...or don't Nest the Stud Family. Model all the Studs together in one Family and cut them all with one big, angled void.
You know, maybe it would be better if you google for and reverse engineer the plethora of free parametric revit families that do what you are trying to do. BIMObject, RevitCity, etc. are likely to have rfa's that you can download and learn from.
