I am working on setting up a family to automatically frame up the soffit on residential homes. I am having trouble locking the ends of dimensional lumber to reference planes on both ends so i can flex the model in the family types. Does anyone have a tip on this?

Do you have a nested dimensional lumber family in your new soffit family ?

I have the dimensional lumber family that comes with Revit loaded into the Soffit Array family project. I got the whole idea from one of you videos. The Fancy Metal Railing, in Architecture 2010. (Your videos are awesome by the way. Taught me pretty much everything I know)
