Problem with Dimension after changing Family type

I’ve download or create a Casework family type object and decided to change the family type to Furniture type.
By default, in a Furniture type family, when giving dimensions to the object I don’t get the object's height and in Casework type I do get the Hight of the object.
 In this case, after changing family’s type I continue to get the object's height as in a Casework.
 Is it possible to change this behavior so that I will not get the Object’s height?
Thanks

No I believe this is not possible. When changing to casework this parameter seems to be added/integrated and not be able to be removed when changing to a different type.

 

Solution might be to:

-Copy your elements to a new family template.

-Use the parameter

-Set the formula in the family editor to a fixed value (e.g. 0 or 9999), then it can not be easily (mis)used

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
