hi, very informative and easy to understand in one watch, its informative and easy to understand. thanks from India.

That was really helpful tutorial and an introducton to arrays inside families! I'm on my way to masrer such adjustable families so thanks a lot for this clear explanation!

[mikeng]

Thank you sir, your tutorial very informative. Learned a lot from your tutorial keep it up for the good work.

Thanks a lot for the clear explanations. You could add another parameter to your Revit family to make the spacing between all of the rungs the same. As your first, last and the middle rungs' spacings are not the same in most of the times? For making the spacing equal you need to put the following formula: the rung offset or spacing can be equal to (total height/(number of rungs+1)) and you can remove the rung number formulas. In your formula you don't have the number of the rungs but you have the total height and rung offset/spacing. In my formula you can first devide the total height to the prefferd amount of spacing between the rungs and then put the result number minus one for the number of the rugs. This gives you a ladder with an equal spacing between the rungs.

hi tom this is so helpful..can you also do a angled rung ladder when angle is parametric? thank you so much in advance! god bless!

[itatabisine]

Mate, thank you for this tutorial.
Is there any way that this family can also incorporate the count of rungs as you stretch it up?
So, to elaborate on my question, is there a way to add the number '1' next to first rung, number '2', next to second rung. . . . . .number '10' next to the tenth rung?
Cheers to all !

Excellent tutorial, thank you. But, say for example that I want my ladder to be in an angle... how could I make a new parameter with the angle information? Thanks!

[akhilvarmadantuluri]

Thanks for the tutorial sir, it's helpful. What happens if we didn't round-up in formula. I tried it but didn't found in which case it will fail.

Hello, if you want to make an instance the width of the ladder, how do you handle the constrains of the rungs?

[mkaarik-kugr]

Hello, I want to ask if there is a note in my Revit that states, "Instance Parameters can't be used in Type Parameter formulas."
Type Parameter "n" is driven by Instance Parameter(s): "lenght"."
do you have a solution for this?

[inakidanielrosasespinoza]

Hi, I have a problem, when I adjust the height manually, all the steps are hidden. What can I do? I like your content thank you

Sir the file is in a higher version of Revit can you share Revit 2020 version file?
