So i'm creating a Wall Based Urinal with ADA standards (which locates the object a specific distance above the floor) as well with normal standards, and when i insert it into a project there is some unknown parameter (Elevation) that is locating the position of my object even though i have set one up in the first place (C.L. Outlet) how would i override this and make the family accept my value and not the one in the family. or atleast locate it to give it a formula... something.. anything :S I can load my file if needed but hopefully this can be resolved with out.

What you are going to need to do is with in the family you have a family types button. What this has is all the parameters that are associated w ith a given family. So if you created a dimension with a label( lets say its elevation) that label has a distance attached to it and the easiest place to change it is under family types.

Yeah, you must edit the Urinal family and check that dimension (elevation)....

my issue is that the Elevation Parameter is not visible in the family, and is only active when inserted into a project, i have loaded the family so that you can see, i've created family types, and parameters for it to be based off of, but this Elevation Parameter overrides everything else, and i can't locate it in the actually family.

When you place it in the project you need to change its element properties, the elevations is located there. If you put the elevation to 0 it will use the formulas you entered.

well for some reason in one of the files i brought it into, changing the elevation to 0 it worked. In the case of your file it did bring it to the floor. I guess the work around would be to match the elevation to the height that you want. It doesn't look as the the parameters are totally correct.

I have the exact same problem for case-work and generic models and using the elevation property which is an instance parameter is just not good enough.
