Could you please make a video explaining how to organize projects?? For example, when you have a project with dimension plans, mechanical plans, electrical plan, plumbing plan, etc.
Hi; Good Tutorial; Please Note to modify the hing point to be on the Exterior face of the Curtain wall; That's How it should be; Otherwise it would not open in the reality; "GOOD LUCK".
When I enter the formula, an error message says “ a reporting parameter can be used in a formula only if it’s dimension references are all to host elements in the family”. How do I fix that?
@@maurohgomez4514 I found that this worked for me. This was from Autodesk Forum - Reporting parameter to be used in FORMULAS. "The solution I found was that I placed the dimension to a reference plane and then to the reference level 0 line (Black) instead of the reference plane line (Green). I used tab to select the green underlying reference plane and it worked."
This is a great tutorial... But it still boggles my mind that you have to go to this length for a simple opening panel. I'm from archicad and this type of thing would be included in libraries.
While following your instructions and after the entry for height formula and clicking apply and OK it is not working, please give me some tips to fix it. Thanks
Ballkon I have tried to do this exercise but having this warning I couldn't "A reporting parameter can be used in a formula only if its dimension reference s are all to host elements in the family. so let me help to find my mistake
When i make the reference line for the opening panel, it is not centered, it is at the endpoint of width dimension. This prevents me from creating an equal distant glass panel at the end. This is now my third roadblock with this tutorial and 1.5 hours working to create this single window panel. Really hating revit rightnow.
This was a really tough project. I got all the way to the end only to have a busted window :-( I mean, it looks just like yours but it won't open or close. Postscript: I got it to work! I had to re-configure most of the parameters but my window now adjusts in the model.
how to solve if a reporter parameter can be used in the formula only if dimension references are all to host elements in the family and its doesn't work and always rejected?
Hi Good Tutorial, but In my case when I was giving parameter for Panel height which is ( height - 100 ) is not applying coming error " A Reporting parameter can be used in a formula only if its dimension references are all to host elements in the family" I tried twice & followed the same method as you. but this error was coming .

Perfect Video! Thanks! I build it in Revit for a Roof (almost similar to a curtain wall). But I got the problem, that it opens only to the inside of the roof; downwards. Do you have a hint how to turn it inside out?
Good day, have you or do you know how to create and elliptical pitch roof. Revit will allow you to create a round roof but will not allow you to add a slop angel to an elliptical curve when using the roof tool. can you help me?
Under Family types parameters, all my dimensions are greyed out. This happens when Balkan architect goes into Family types at 8.09 And when dimensions are greyed out you cannot enter any input to alter them. You can alter dimensions by dragging reference planes in Revit which only partially works; dimensions which are linked by formulas update but the rotation point does not move. Is anyone else having problems like this?
"a reporting parameter can be used in a formula only if its dimension references are all host elements in the family" this is the message I had when trying to enter the formula. Can someone help please
hi there jeff. I had the same problem. When you are making the height dimension you need to hit tab one time so it chooses the reference plane over the reference level. Then it allows you to enter the formula. Hope this works for you.
i did everything the same how you did it but when i put the formula show up for me this message: a reporting parameter can be used only in formula only if its dimension reference are all to host element in the family. i could not counting after that what is the wrong. any help please thank you

firstly thanks for your videos and tutorials. But I have a problem. I am using the 2019 version of Revit and in this version, when you want to make a parameter ( for example > Height of the frame ) a warning message appears which doesn't let to do that. Text says that >>> A reporting parameter can be used in a formula only if its dimension reference s are all to host elements in the family. as a result it was impossible for me to control the length of opening in my project. could you please introduce a loophole for me ?
