Possibility to decide if the geometry parameters for recess should be project parameters or family parameters
There are some situations where users want to have the possibility to enable/disable the project parameters for recesses when creating a new project, when linking the Revit file to an existing project or when binding the parameters in Shop drawing template via "Bind parameters" command from Shop drawing settings dialogue window.
For these situations, we are now introducing a new variable named "RVTRECESSPARAMETERS" which can be added in IMPACT Standard Admin and be used to enable/disable the project parameters for the recesses in IMPACT Revit.

There are two possible values that can be set for the variable "RVTRECESSPARAMETERS": 0 and 1.
When the variable "RVTRECESSPARAMETERS" is set to 0, it means that the parameters "IMPACT Diameter", "IMPACT Height", "IMPACT Width" and "IMPACT Depth" will be added as project parameters for recesses.
Figure 2 - Parameters are added to the rectangular recess when the variable "RVTRECESSPARAMETERS" is set to 0
Figure 3 - Parameters are added to the circular recess when the variable "RVTRECESSPARAMETERS" is set to 0
When the variable "RVTRECESSPARAMETERS" is set to 1, it means that the parameters "IMPACT Diameter", "IMPACT Height", "IMPACT Width" and "IMPACT Depth" won't be added to the recesses as project parameters. The recess will keep the family parameters.
