Automatically generate Family Type Name based on parameter value

Automatically generate Family Type Name based on parameter value

One of the frustrations I encounter most often in my capacity as BIM manager is family types being named incorrectly to their actual size. 

 

An example would be: 

 

Family Type - Door Type A

= Width parameter value of 900

= Height parameter value of 2100.

 

Door family type name: 

= Type-A_900*2100 

 

It would be very useful if you could simply specify the parameters to make up the family type name. Such as 

(Family Type)_(Width)*(Height)

= Type-A_900*Height

 

Any update to the parameter values would therefore automatically adjust the name.
