Since we can now schedule the height of a wall is it possible to make a wall tag that could display the wall height on an instance basis?

ie can unconnected height and base constraint be in a formula in a shaired parameter that is available to load into a tag?

So in the floor plan I have a tag that has the wall type mark and the height of that wall instance.

Humm...still cant assign a value to a parameter based on a formula, simular to a schedule calculated value?

I thought we crossed that bridge. Oh well someday.

Can tha tag just hold the Unconnceted height parameter?

Listen ..... edit your wall tag and see if that parameter is available!!!   Then you tell us.  If you can't do this then now is the time to learn.

I detect it too! :D I was wondering if this was possible and have been trying to find a way to do it but am unsuccessful as of now. Did you figure it out?

at this point as best i can sort out it's not possible to accurately do.  you can create a shared parameter that uses a calculated value based off the length and volume, but i'm not finding a way to get unconnected height into a scheduleable parameter.  the problem with calculated values is it won't take into consideration things like doors requcing the overall volume.

i suspect this may be possible with some API work, possibly dynamo or some awkard import/export work pulling schedule data out into excel and pushing it back into an annotation family, but that'd be ugly.
