Example: Eave/gutter profiles. The beam has eave sheets on one side of the reference line and fascia & gutter on the other yet industry standard is to schedule the length at the edge of the roof plane i.e. the reference line. Currently we can only schedule the inner edge of the eave (not useful) or the outer edge of the gutter (also not useful).

Have you tried using a railing instead of a beam and scheduling that instead? It allows your eave/gutter to be associated with your roof which is nice.

Personally I model my eaves and gutter separately, but we should have consistency.

If you want to play around with 'Properties' and 'Expressions in properties', then you could take the left and right length and apply a shift to calculate the length of the fascia position.
Then schedule that.

We need the ability to schedule the length of the reference line for beams.
It is incredibly frustrating not being able to schedule the length of the reference line of a beam. It can be scheduled for walls, so why not beams? Length Left and Length Right are not adequate in a lot of situations.

How about using the "3D Length" parameter in the "General" group?

I tried this and it just uses the 'left' length - not the reference line.
