Reporting parameters in Revit are great, particularly if you are a structural engineer. They give you access in the family to things that you have no way of defining within the family. The best way to explain is with an example.
When you view structural framing in Revit, the ends of beams will automatically cut back according to how wide their supporting beam is. This all happens because of the ‘Member Left’ and ‘Member Right’ planes which exist in the standard structural framing family template.
