How to Use Offset in Curtain Wall Family in Lyrebird

Lyrebird can input parameters for most curtain walls except for Offset Vertical Mullions and Offset Horizontal Mullions. These are pretty important for me. How can I get lyrebird to control these parameters.

Thanks,
Moses

This may just be a shortcoming of the current version. To get the instance parameters of an object in Revit it has to exist as an instance so I have to go through the process of creating an instance, reading it's parameters, and then rolling back the change whenever you go into the add parameters window. Somewhere in there I'm either not getting all of the parameters that I could or perhaps even casting the wall to some other generic type like reading it's parameters as a FamilyInstance rather than a Wall object. It's hard to say without getting into the code but it's safe to say that it won't work until I can push an update out.

I've finally had some time to start working on this project again so hopefully a new version with Revit 2015 support will be arriving soon. I'll look at making sure all of the curtain wall parameters get read properly.
