downloaded this folding door family from Kolbe website but no matter what i do i cant change the height of the door. i input 8' as my desired height but only door panel change and the frame and opening would remain at default height of 10'. i tried to open the family but it is too complicated for me to fix it. could somebody take a look to see if it could be fixed?

family attached. i am in revit 2017

thanks

Open the family and select the opening. When the sketch lines appear, make sure the line for the head of the door is locked to the reference line that moves when the height is changes.

For the frame, select the frame in the family editor, edit it and if it is a profile that follows a sketch line path, then edit the sketch line path and again make sure the line that runs along the head is locked to the reference line that moves when the height is changes.
