Approved Ranges for Numeric Parameters

Approved Ranges for Numeric Parameters

It should be possible to set an expected range for each numeric parameter in a family. If a user enters number outside of this range, Revit would show the user a dialogue box explaining the limitation.

 

This would make it much easier to design families that don't break. It would reduce the number of parameters with conditional statements that are required to do this.

Add formulas to families that will limit the value of the parameter, specifying from what value it will work up to what. Such a formula leaves the parameter editable, but within the specified values.

Most building elements have minimum and maximum dimensions, and in Revit you can`t limit the set values, which leads to errors.

Hi @Anonymous,

We are currently working on an addon that does something similar to this, at the moment only at project level, not for families. 

If you are interested in participating as an early adaptor just let me know.

I believe that in general Revit needs more formulas to be available inside family editor. At project level I cannot find any easy application right now (maybe there is, so I do not discard that option) but for families it would allow to make families much easier and much more understandable between users. Like basic codes eg: IF X>Y THEN X = Y.
