Creating Vertical Families

You can create vertical or non-vertical families. This option pertains only to families hosted by walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, and site surfaces. You can set a family component, such as a tree or a chandelier, to Always Vertical; once loaded into a project, the component remains vertical regardless of the slope of the host. In the case of a car or a park bench, you can set the Always Vertical option to No; this allows the car and the park bench to adapt to the slope of the host.

NOTE: The Always Vertical parameter does not apply to families created in non host-based templates.

Example of Vertical and Non-Vertical Families; 3 trees are set to Always Vertical, 2 trees are not.

To set the always vertical parameter for a family

1 In the Family Editor, click Settings menu ➤ Family Category and Parameters.

2 Select the check box to enable the Always Vertical parameter.

3 Click OK.
