Can anybody help me with a Round Window family

[Anonymous]

I created a Round Lovre Window, this is the first time I create a louvre family too, but  the blades of louvre did not run with vertical direction when i load in projects, i tried many ways but i still don't know how to fix it. Please anybody help me with this family. Thank you so much. Ps: My family window is Version Revit 2021. The file is attached in below. Thank you again.

You have a constraints issue...Not only with flexing the depth but also with flexing the diameter you can clearly see that it is not working

If you want to continue with this approach, it is preferable that you model the louver array in a separate family then nest it into the main window. Makes it easier to constrain and control

when i have this problem it is usually because the arrayed elements are not locked to a reference plane properly. Depending on how the array was made (Second Point or Last Point) you need to make sure the governing point, second or last,  is locked too the reference plane too.

if that still doesn't work, I have done what @RDAOU suggest and make the array a nested family. 

I personally prefer using a Curtain wall for louvers. I find them a lot more flexible.

I would model the round frame as a regular window and the louver blades as a curtain wall with edited profile.

The reason for the separate round window frame is that curtain mullions cannot be round or curved.  If you louvered window is not round then you could create the entire thing as a curtain wall.

There's more than one way to skin a cat...

Fins as a Repeater on a Divided Surface.  Fully parametric Adaptive Family that "Cuts with Voids When Loaded".

I would create separate family for the louver. That way you can control it easier and won't break your family. See attached.

@syman2000 thank you so much, i tried with the nested families, but still have errors. Thank you again, you saved me. i'm just an amatuer in creating family and have to learn more 😁.

@barthbradley It is a good way to do but i still don't know how to use frequently mass and adaptive family to create another families. maybe I should learn more. Thank you again 😄

Thanks for solution, i did it with curtain wall first but the customer want to have round louvre family for futher projects. so they ask me to create that, it made me spend all time yesterday :'(. But all guys say rights about the nested family. I will try to do that for another louvre families. by the way I will use curtain wall if family doesn't do necessarily

Thanks for advice, i will try to create the nested family for another families too. I will training more about that

Thanks for advice, i will try to train more about the nested family, i'm still an amatuer in creating family :D. Thank you again, my friend.
