I'm trying to create a box that can be resized l,w,h as parameters.  When I resize the object the origin moves.  How do I lock it to the intersection of the center left/right and center front/back referenece lines?

Hi Purple,

 

I'm reading this as a question of how do I keep the intersection of a box family in the centre with adjustable dimension parameters? If so, see attached. 

 

You need to 'Pin' the intersection reference lines (which are set as your "Defines Origin"). Draw four ref lines (one left, right, up and down) and then use dimensions to tell revit that the parameter length (lets say width) needs to be spread equally. This is done by creating a dimension from left, to centre to right. When you select this dimension you'll see "EQ" with a red line slash through it. Click on this and your set.

 

Kind Regards,
