Hello everyone; i made this tutorial:  http://designreform.net/2008/10/revit-nested-families/ 

I have a tricky question for you though and because i’m kind of new on this parameters formulas.  I pretty much followed the video step by step, and at first i though everything would be parametric ( width,height and depth). But now i see that its only width and height because they are dependent on the size of the curtain grid and the depth it’s conditioned with a formula; My question is: I would like my width & height be the same,i.e. 1 mt. ( square ) so i would need to make the curtain grid with the same dimensions in horizontal and vertical…but how could i make the depth of those squares to be random? Or to be at least between 2 numbers? Like .5 mt & 2.5 mts?. Thank you so much for your help ! " /> Pao

Here's a pic of the final result: But this image it's when the depth depends on the (width*height)/5.

And i need width & height to be the same and with a customizable depth ( random if possible)

Im interested in this aswell, is there a formula imput 'random'?

Would be very interesting to see the creative potential of a constantly changing value...
