I have created an adaptive family which will function as retaining wall. All the parameters work perfectly fine, except the spline path (reference line) passing through the adaptive points I guess. In the screencast below you can see that it works fine when it is concave, but when I try to make it convex it turns upside down. Has anyone had this problem before?
Set adaptive points to Instance XY global Z, or set the family to Always Vertical.
Aren't you inside the AP Family in that screencast? AP Orientation setting inside the Family doesn't affect anything. If you want to test Orientation, load and place the AP Family on a Host in another Project.
Try this one. This is just an example for you to reverse engineer. The profile is not the same as yours.

Thank you, this one works but I need to divide the profile vertically and horizontally cause I'm assigning Visibility parameters for each of them. I tried to load my profile into your family. But then I couldn't generate a solid with it for some reason :(, maybe because I have intersecting lines in my profile. But as I said, to be able to set the Visibility parameters I cannot have one single profile I suppose. What is your suggestion?
Create each profile as a family, load them in host on the same ref point, then create a form from each profile.
Now when I lock the second profile it turns 90 degrees and lays on the plane. How can I solve this?

Before digging into this. Any reason you opted to use an adaptive family instead of a more conventional approach such as a sweep, a swept blend, or railing?
