Family Parameters : Void

May 5, 2011, 06:28 PM

Have a loading dock door that I'm creating and has some windows in it which I want to an instance parameter for.

The glass it self I can get to a Visibility parameter but the void wont seem to work.

Any suggestions?

Hi Scott, and welcome to the Forum

Voids don´t have the visibility options... but there´s a workaround that I´ve described in this blog post
