i just made a parametric cell, it works well. The cell is a conveyor with power unit, but sometime i do not need power unit when placing the cell. Is there any way to delete elements in a cell automatically using variables, when placing cell in design model. i do not want explode cell and delete elements.
So you want to conditional show elements based on the state of a variable. Not necessarily delete them but to turn them off or hide them?

yep
visibility parameter like Revit.
Duncan, will this be available on the next update or has someone filed this as an enhancement? I’m also having this issue. It would be great if we can have a menu that lets us hide an element and assign a variable on it to turn it on/off
Hi all, this is already in our backlog for evaluation in our of our future updates. As it would be a major change in our parametric modeling system, we won't be able to implement it in our next update.

Or AutoCAD dynamic blocks, been this way for awhile.
Marco,
please look into this as soon as possible as there are many occasions when this functionality will be needed (e.g. when creating a parametric cell representing a road sign with various fixing types: concrete foundation, baseplate etc). The alternative approach of creating a parametric cell for each potential scenario would be time consuming and result in a very large cell library.
Regards,
Keith
Absolutely - I can see where some kind of visibility control parameter would be very helpful for those items that are almost the same (as Keith mentioned).
