      Steve Cocchi
      Steve Cocchi
      I'm not Jeff, but then again who is? :) Anyhow... I'll take a stab at it. I think because compound walls can have varying heights, and because those heights are defined in the part definition associated with the catalog item, the catalog property…

      That seems to be a dead link... Anyhow, you are correct in that _USTN_TFROOT is a variable in itself, and not a hard coded value. However, it's the program side of the application, not the workspace, so I'd imagine it would be fairly consistent…

      Can V8i users simply open DWG files with Revit data and read it in the DWG file? It isn't necessary to edit or modify the Revit data in the DWG and it isn't necessary to transfer it to a DGN file. Thanks. Greg
