Cannot change height of wall hosted sink

Hello

Im making some families and I came to weird problem. Im trying to make wall mounted sink. I have wall hosted plumbing family. In there I have nested family of sink itself and in the sink I have nested two facuets. When I load the family inside project, I cannot change sink height through Edit Type. But when i try to change the excat same dimension in family, it changes height.
Do somebody know where my problem come from? Im lost on it.

Seems to work fine. Go to Project Elevation and change the "Elevation From Level" under the Sink Properties.  See the Sink move?

No issue from my end. When I change the height to 1m, the entire sink move with it. Unless the nested faucet has the same name in the project which cause it to be replaced by another? I would rename the faucet so you won't run into this issue.

@syman2000 : Do you have an "Attachment" Tab showing when you create a reply post?  Mine is missing today?  I have no ability to post a Revit file.  Strange.  Is it just me or everyone.

@barthbradleyi have that issue as well since last night. This is why one of my reply I attached it the family to Revitcity.

I have been able to reproduce where changing the Výška umístění type parameter in a project does not move the geometry while flexing this parameter within the family does move the geometry.

 

I think the first step in clarifying this behavior would be to simplify the family to the minimum parts necessary for this movement, then add additional items in once the behavior of the simplified dataset is understood.

 

Here is a screencast video showing some progress in this direction (after setting one of the reference planes as an origin, and removing constraints from the geometry, it does move when changing the parameter):

@barthbradley I am also seeing the attach option is missing when replying, although I found that when editing a post, the attachment option was showing up (and works, tested attaching test.txt file).

In a wall based family I would use the OOTB parameter (Default Elevation) and in the project Elevation from Level (not sure if the latter existed in 2019 though

 

Your family is a wall based, with no Elevation Origin and the Parameter for Height is to the Families Ref Level...In the project environment, that ref level of the wall based family does not correlate to/with the Building Level unless the Elevation origin is defined....to fix your family do the following:

 

  1. Add a reference plane (week reference) call it anything to your liking >>
  2. align and lock to the the ref Level in the family  >>
  3. with reference plane still selected, Set it to Define Origin...
  4. Load into the project

Thank you for testing the family, It looks like I have made somewhere a mistake when nesting one family in another and constraing it to some reference planes. I will try to simplify it as you have said.
Once again, thank you very much for your time with it.

Thank you. Yeah I most definitely made mistake with setting (or not setting at all) the base point and origin of the sink. I will have look at it once again and thoughtfully will set references for each family nested.
If I will suceed i will let you know guys. Thank you one more time.
