This is a video where I have made a Structural framing family and made new parameter called "Offsets". The idea is that using elevation offset wich is built in, user can offset the central axis of wooden beam, but using "Offsets" parameter user can offset the whole section from its central axis that sometimes is much better using elevation function. The video shows how good the framing works in the family editor and how partly it works, lets say DONT WORK, in the project! I have dealed with shuch problems in  "8. ..." versions of Revit, now I have 2009 and it seems things just don't change!

Are you just complaining ....Without seeing your family, I doubt anyone can help you.

Just to let Revit fans now, i finally found, that if you need in coarse view that center lines would end in one point for different bars, but the sections would be offseted, then set the "Stick symbol location" to "Location Line". The problem why in family editor offsetting the section with self made parameter works but when loaded in project doesn't work, isn't solved for now..

It looks like the problem is how you are constraining your family.  Framing families require that the vertical justification is constrained within the family.  This is because they need to contain reference planes that define the Top, Center, and Bottom elevations for use in your project parameter for justification. In your family you are constraining the elevation by assigning a parameter offset value to your profile. This will work in your family but not in the project. Due to the lack of these necessary reference planes Revit will always "Center" or "Top" justify your elements disregarding your "Offsets" parameter.

 

Recreate your family by adding the proper reference planes and constraining the elevation within the framing family and not the profile.

 

Hope that helps,

Jeff S.

Thank you Jeff, I'll try to find more information about constraining rules in help and will try to do it right! I hope I did something wrong.. =)

Best regards!
