17.   Select component from the menu at the left and then place the louvre somewhere in the floor plan. Don't worry too much about where you put it yet as we will dimension it soon to locate it properly. Now place a dimension from the left end of the louvre to the left reference plane. Then place another dimension from the Exterior Wall Face Reference plane to the second line from the top of your louvre (It is these lines that the origin was defined in the louvre family, so be sure to dimension to these points). Select the louvre and change the dimension to the left reference plane to 0 and lock. Select the other dimension and choose <Add Parameter...> and define it a name as below. This could be setup as an instance parameter as opposed to a type if you desire.
