I don't need the last multiplier because my increment is 1 (cable). For any quantity of strands greater than zero and up to the number of strands in a cable, it resolves to 1 cable, then 2 cables, etc.Dave Clarkhttp://www.daveclarkconsulting.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19080627.post-85313441548090093552016-02-20T09:48:00.571+10:002016-02-20T09:48:00.571+10:00Thank you!

Some of the issues are just ridiculous - I work for a railing manufacturer, so between building the families and placing accurately in the project, according to codes and engineering, I can testify to how badly we need fixes. I end up with tremendous lists in the baluster placement editor, with a dozen types and then the workarounds.. I do a good amount of modeling in-place (esp with complex bend geometry and sometimes terminations), which defeats the purpose, but is easier than feeling like I'm in a MMA match with Revit.. Not sure the source of your termination mystery, would gladly look at the file. Not at all surprised though, terminations are so glitchy.<br /><br />Found your blog while looking around for any way to have a particular instance parameter actually translate into the project environment. Like you mentioned, seems simple, I need a part to change dimensions at certain angles (different part for rakes/horizontal runs)- and naturally it flexes perfectly in the template, but thats it..<br /><br />That the editor template and the project environment don't correspond drives me mad. I basically have to flex everything twice before I know it will actually work..
