Figure 6.18 Elevation parameter available in project
Changing this value will move the cabinet family in elevation
relative to the reference plane you set in the Placement Side elevation
view. In this example, you can enter a precise value for the top of the
cabinets (Figure 6.18).
In the following exercise you will make various changes to a generic host
window that is part of the default library. A hosted family has a required rela-
tionship to a specific host category, such as Floors, Walls, Roofs, or Ceilings.
Without the host, the hosted family can't be placed.
