Delete Locked Parameter

Here is a simplified example of my issue. Two planes have been created and the translation offset from the top datum plane was set to the relation "length" for the first new plane and the offset between the first and second datum planes was also set to "length". In both cases "length" was added as a feature relation. We now want to have one set to "length1" and the other set to "length2" however both are locked to the paremeter "length". If we delete from relations table the paramet is still locked. How can we delete the parameter and reassign new parameters? It doesn't matter if I use the gui or not the parameter will not be deleted or unassigned from the two planes. Our actual example is in a much more complicated model and therefore we do not want to start again from scratch.
 
Rewrite all the relations, changing length to length1 or 2 as desired. Once length is no longer referenced in a relation, it will no longer be restricted and may be deleted.

The restriction may not be dropped until the relations are verified or the model is regenerated.

Inside Relations Window, follow these steps:
1. Change "Look In" from Part to "Feature"
2. Click the arrow next to it to select your Datum Plane.(Wait for a second for the arrow to activate)
3. Relation that is associated with that plane will appear.
4. Delete it.

Now it will be unlocked in Parameters.
