Constrains within a family

[Anonymous]

Hi all! I'm a new person here and also new to Revit, hence please keep it in mind while reading silly questions of mine...I'm trying to build a product family parametric driven. It is kind of Window frame, but when I try to constrain the head frame, I can do this only with either vertical or horizontal way. Never with two at the same time. I also struggle with sill level and wall type. Whenever I try to change wall thickness a mess with few elements occur. Please find attached file and if you'll find some time to provide guidance I'll be very grateful!

I was guided to post it on Architectural forum, so here I am! Your kind help will be much appreciated!

Did you open a stock window family and see how the constraints work?

Sorry , but I'm not pretty sure what you mean about "stock window family". If you think about templates my file is based on Metric Window.rft. However my modeling is a bit more complex to constrain. If you'd be able to take a look into attached file you'll see it is not about basic constrains.

Thanks

It seemed to flex properly when I changed Width and Height of the Window.  I don't know the intent is keeping the window Depth fixed to making it adjustable per the Wall thickness.  If the former, it works fine.  if the latter, you need to make the depth of the nested mullion and header/sill parametric and associate the parameter with the wall thickness.

Thanks for taking closer look. The issue is it shouldn't be connected to the wall thickness. It should remain align to the wall face. It seems like I use too many constrains, but I don't know which one should I delete. This becomes a problem when I try to use it in the project. Depending of the wall thickness it goes messy. Also there is an issue with default sill height within family modeling. I don't know is this important as I can adjust it in the project, however question remains is this makes problem within this family?
