Family will not change type after load

I'm going through a tutorial on families (Paul Aubin) and have created a shelf w/ nested brackets that works as expected when flexed in the family editor.  Any project I load it into shows it at its default configuration, but when I select it in the project and change it's type in the properties box, the configuration does not flex - it stays as inserted.  It also shows my parameters in the properties box as individually modifiable.

 

Anyone know off hand what I'm missing?

 

Thanks.

Currently your parameters in the family are all set > “Instance”.

 

Modify the “Width”, “Thickness” and “Depth” parameters to be “Type” in the family instead. For an expansion on how instance parameters are remembered, which explains why they do not update in the project, see the post here:
