Convert a hosted family to a non hosted family

Hi! I have plumbing fixtures families hosted. I need to convert for non hosted. How can I to do it?

Few options:

-Build it again non-hosted, the best way in terms of managing the families

-Nest it in a non-hosted family, works but you need to propagate the parameters

 

Apparently there is a third method, see solution of @ToanDN

There is a trick to turn wall-hosted families into face-hosted families, if that interests you.  Unfortunately, no trick to remove host entirely.

Yes you can.

Use the copy monitor trick to convert it to face based family. Then open the result family, select the host extrusion and change the thickness to 0. Bam it is gone and you have a non host family.

Holy cow. it actually worked!  Zero thickness blew that host to smithereens!  Great Tip, @ToanDN!

Thanks @ToanDN!  I noticed that in my situation I also had to turn off the Work Plane-Based checkbox in the Family Category and Parameters dialog to make the family function as fully non-hosted.

Hello, we have "non host family" in our rte ex. receptacles but, when we connect them the circuit loop comes incomplete. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks
