Families inside a nested Family

Anonymous — Mon, 12 Apr 2021 13:54:34 GMT

hello,

i'm currently planing a noise barrier. i need to create a material-list with all families.

But the problem is, that i created a nested Family containing differnet Families. The Project i'm currently working with only recognizes the nested Family and not the Families inside the nested Family.

How do i solve this problem?

Thank you for your time and your answers!

I hope I am understanding you correctly. I assume you need to get the materials of each of your nested families. To be able to schedule all the nested families they need to be a "Shared" family. Be careful about using shared families in multiple locations, when you load a family with a shared nested family it will update any other host family that uses the same shared family.
