The Wine – Families
Example: Properties of Extrusion class
Lets take a quick look into the extrusion class to show that the properties that it has that get mapped to various dialog boxes that we have in the interface. Like whether it is a solid or void, to set a sub-category to control material and appearance, visible parameters to control visibility, and end offset and start offset. So many elements of various dialog boxes in the UI are now part of the properties of one extrusion class.

There is no ability to create in place family like we have in UI in 2010. We can only create them as RFA files and then import them into the project. We can call new family document regardless of whether we are in project document mode or in family creation mode. We can also modify an existing family and load it back into the project.

We can create a full parameter creation capability thru the API. You should be able to access the connector in the family, do the changes and add parameters to it.
