creating a new family from an existing one.

my apologies.  very new at this.  I wanted to learn how to make new families.  I looked it up and "copying, renaming, and modifying an existing family" seemed the place to start.  I wanted to take a counter and make a family with one corner chamfered.  so I did.  seemed simple.  I loaded it into my project and the thumbnail looks right but when I try to place it in the project, it's not coming in chamfered.  what the heck am I doing wrong?

Looks like the counter has a built in parameter. When you add in chamfer, did you add any parameter or lock line to certain reference plane? Upload the family so we can take a look.

You have masking region on plan. That's why it looks like straight because you have to edit that as well. Instead of that I would simply get rid of that and make the 3d to display as is. See attached

okay so I tried to recreate what you did...getting rid of the masking region... and the new counter didn't show up correctly in plan view but it was fine in 3-d view (wierd) so I went into yours to try to understand it.  Looks like maybe you didn't change the extrusion but instead created a void object to chamfer the whole thing?

 

(also need to research masking region and figure out why it was there in the first place...)

 

just trying to wrap my head around it all..

Yes I use the void. You can also use angle. If you use angle, you have to do it to the backsplash as well to get that nice 45deg cut. So I use void instead and that did the job. As for masking region in the old days before the 64bit, we did a lot of masking region and symbolic line to keep the model processing speed at optimum level. Now it is cumbersome since 3d model will do the job. I would use masking if you want the angle to display as invisible line. However you lose the material functionality when you switch your plan to shaded or realistic.
