I would like to see a truly parametric modeling environment, and I think some kind of Variable Manager would greatly help this cause.
It's just a conceptual idea for now, but I think it could be a very powerful tool, without being too confusing!

e.g. The height of this wall is "3m" in "absolute value", while the height of another wall is "-0.3m" "relative to" "next floor".

I think this could be a part of a bigger thing.
When we build a column or an external wall most of the times the wall goes up to many storeys.
In current situation when moving a wall we should go and move all of its parts on all storeys. If we could bind them together so moving the wall would move all others at the same time OR ask if we want to break the binding condition.
I think this feature is in revit but i am not sure.
This kind of internal binding is very usefull.

This would be perfect for measurements, but could also be applied to attributes, such as materials, composites, fills, linetypes, etc.
