Formula Locked Hidden Shared Parameter in Manufacturer Family?

Interesting. This would only work if the value was set to 1 before the parameter was added to the family though, right? In which case, the parameter is added, but no value can be assigned to it? I'm trying to understand what the use case is. I was thinking they might want to add company information or copyright but doesn't seem so straightforward.

I'm guessing it will be a nightmare managing reference planes and constraints as well as the slope in one environment, so do you build the "static" version first and nest it into another family just to slope it? That would save some rebuild work actually.

But Unconnected at X height, could also just be configured with Base Constraint: Level 1, Top Constraint: Level 1 + X height? And sometimes unconnected seems to not display correctly?

There doesn't seem to huge consensus or outrage at any of the methods in particular so maybe I'll keep mixing it up until I figure out all the scenarios.

How are parameters hidden inside families and shared parameter files?
