Hello,
Like most peolpe here, I'm fairly new to the software. I'm currently using it to assist me with my electrical engineering senior project in college.
When creating a brand new family, I am easily able to place two reference planes (parallel to the center plane and one another) on opposite sides of the origin, constrain them as equidistant, and then define the length between the non-center planes using a parameter. I can then adjust this parameter freely and the planes remain equidistant from the center.
My question:
Now that I'm 4+ hours into designing a family, I attempted to adjust such a parameter, only to receieve a "Constraints are not satisfied" error. I'm trying to make the adjustment from the Left Elevation view. When I click "Apply" inside the "Family Types" window the error pops up while the reference plane to the left of the origin (Galvanized Pipe Back Row) is moved the distance required to meet the new length parameter, but the plane to the right (Galvanized Pipe Front Row) remains fixed, making them no longer equidistant. This same thing happens with other equidistant parameters in the family as well, not just this one. Am I missing something? Why is this so simple to do on a brand new schematic but is now failing me around every corner? I have not pinned any of the planes I'm attempting to adjust.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Please let me know if any additional information is necessary to completely understand the issue.

I should have noted that I'm using Revit 2015.

We can only say that somehow, this is constrained elsewhere. Did you look up those elements in the warning? Could these be constrained in a different view?
You did place the reference planes before placing the geometry - correct?
Otherwise, we would need to see the family.
