How to create advanced custom detail components

Can someone point me to a tutorial or a class to learn how to create custom, more sophisticated, detail components?  By more sophisticated I mean ones that are easily adjustable and have visibility options and constraints and parameters that can be changed in the drafting view in a project.  

 

So, as a simple example, the OOTB 'C Studs-Side' detail component can be inserted in the drafting view, then the length can be easily adjusted using the little dots on the ends, you just drag it.  But how do I get those dots to change the length in a custom detail component that I create from scratch? 

 

Or another example, I downloaded a pipe break component from Revit City and you can drag one side using the double triangles, and the opposite side moves along with it so they're constrained somehow but I don't know how to create that from scratch.  There are more advanced components too that I'd love to learn how to create, I just need help finding where to learn.  I am using Revit Structure 2019 and 2020.  Thanks!

Remember : without the difficult times in your LIFE, you wouldn't be who you are today. Be grateful for the good and the bad. ANGER doesn't solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything...
