Hello,

I have a face based family in Electrical Fixtures (which I have attached below) for a Duplex Receptacle. The goal is to be able to drive the elevation of the receptacle from either the instance properties or the electrical utility tag that we use for our MEP drawings. This way everything updates and provides a user friendly experience.

I have tried to add dimensions to the host, which I assume is the "face" that the extrusions that make up my receptacle sits inside. However, I'm unable to dimension to any of these lines... Is this a limitation to the type of family being used? (face based?)

Your help is appreciated.

How would you modify a family from face-based or hosted to one that is not?
