Please allow changing the hosting parameter of a Family - for example we have Floor based families and it is not easy to change the hosting to Face based or something else...
Would be beneficial to use the default reference plane as your host especially in lighting fixtures and then the ability when you bring into the project to select, hosted, workplane or other a multi-plane based family would be amazing and save so much time then having multiple families for the one item.
I just want to have a tick box or drop down from hosted to non-hosted. Or get rid of hosted as a type and have a "host to" button for all/most families.
This may be one of the harder ones to implement and it's been discussed everywhere but I'm posting it anyway.
This would be a game-changer in family creation. Being able to switch hosting types, or even change a hosted family to non-hosted one would be extremely helpful. Especially when downloading manufacturer-created families that might be set up incorrectly.
This would be ESPECIALLY helpful when working in, say, an Interiors model, into which is linked the Architectural model. The Arch model has the walls, but wall cabinets and other wall-hosted families cannot be placed on them in the Interiors model - it's as if they were not there. Huge pain.
These are Revit's *own* wall cabinets! Would that *Autodesk* had "figured this out" years ago and reissued the components libraries accordingly. Users can't just edit a family and change its host type.
THE OOTB (out of the box) families are mostly garbage. If your firm does not make their own version based on their BIM learnings, you're basically doomed.
With that being said, it would be great to have the ability to change hosting as it would prevent a lot of rework.
But yeah, most people figured this out years ago and remade all their families years ago.
I can't believe this feature still doesn't exist. Yes, I know the linking a project and copy trick to make families "face hosted". But that is a cumbersome workaround.
If nothing else, it proves the feature would be easy to implement since Revit already can make a family face-hosted. it just doesn't have a checkmark or other user-control to do that.
It would be nice in future Revit version to implement option for user to convert hoisting family to un-hoisting family when load family into project. Thank you very much
Provide an option to convert a hosted family to a non-hosted family without breaking parameters and constraints. Host based reference planes would be converted to normal reference planes. This would help immensely with modifying and reusing complex models for the specific issues of a project.
This would be a great feature. It is very clunky when you have to turn a hosted family into a non-hosted family. Currently, my preference is to avoid hosted families altogether due to this because of the off chance that I need to show an electrical outlet mounted on a piece of casework for example, rather than wall-hosted.
