You can create a wrapper rule for the Building_From_OpenStreetMap.cga rule in order to define your own styles. In your style, you can control the height of the buildings. You cannot set the max height of a building, but you can set the number of floors and the floor height. This wrapper rule can be placed in any project; it does not need to be in the ESRI.lib folder.
For example, here is a wrapper rule that defines a style called MyStyle which creates buildings with a random number of floors in the range [20,100] (if the height is not specified already by an object attribute from OSM data). The number of floors is set by setting the attribute estimatedLevels on line 73. In the Style section, you can add your own style which sets any of the attributes that start with "estimated". Do not make changes to the Hidden Attributes section.

Apply this wrapper rule to your building footprints and choose the style MyStyle. Note that you cannot choose one of the preset styles in the Building_From_OpenStreetMap file, such as GenericMediumTown, NewYork, or Vancouver. The Building_From_OpenStreetMap style must be set to the Default Style. Otherwise, the style chosen in Building_From_OpenStreetMap will take precedence over any style set in the wrapper file.
