When creating a component in the Family Editor, you often need to create identical

elements that are controlled by the same parameters, such as labelled dimensions
or visibility parameters.
Examples
If you create a window family with muntins controlled by a visibility parameter,
you can create the first muntin, apply the visibility parameter to it, and then copy,
array, or mirror the muntin. The visibility parameter of the original muntin is applied
to the duplicated muntins.
If you create a lighting family with lighting fixtures controlled by a visibility
parameter, you can create the first fixture, apply the visibility parameter to it, and
then copy, array, or mirror the fixture. The visibility parameter or the original fixture
is applied to the duplicated fixtures.

If you copy, array, or group a parameterized element, the parameters that control
that element are also copied.
In the example shown below, a generic family was created with 2 extrusions. The bottoms
of both extrusions are aligned to the horizontal reference plane. The height of the large
extrusion is controlled by the labelled dimension H. The height of the smaller extrusion is
controlled by the labelled
