Two part question really.
1: Who is using the Rough Width and Rough Height parameters? And for those who are not, is it because it isn't in your scope so why bother? Or because managing and being responsible for one more level of data is not worth the time and risk? And for those that are, do you have Construction under the same roof, or are you a traditional design firm?
2: Again for those that are, how are you managing the values?
I have nested frames that do the wall cut, and I had planned to just make the RO parameters reporting and actually dimension the host. Works a charm for Host Depth which then drives my Frame Depth by formula, but it would seem that the two RO parameters can't be switched to Reporting nor can you actually dimension the opening in the host, even tho' these are exactly the parameters that make most sense as Reporting Parameters. Almost as if Reporting Parameters where added in Revit and the Factory either missed the implications for RO or the underlying code was just too hard to address. In any case, it seems like the only answer is to drive RO by formula, which isn't the end of the world but is also not at all elegant or simple. And maybe not worth the effort.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
