Detail Component nested in Profile family

How come when you add a detail component to profile family it doesn't show up when you create a sweep from that profile? This appears to be true with every combination of visibilitiy settings across each family as well as every category. Is this not possible? If so, why even have the option of adding a detail component to a profile family? Really frustrating.

Detail components embedded in a profile will show when you cut a section across a sweep modeled based on that profile family.  They will not show in 3D, and will not show in a section cut not at the right angle to the sweep path.

I know they don't show in 3D. My problem is that they do not show in section either. It simply doesnt work...see attached (version 2015).

Strange. This another one that doesn't work in my file: Let me know if it works on your end and then I'll know if there's a bigger problem on my end.

Ooookay. Well, the first profile seems to work for me now, but check this file where I know I'm not seeing the second one I sent:

Well, I see they do not show in family environment, only in project environment.  So, if your profiles are used to create frames or mullions in a project, the nested detail components will show as my examples demonstrate.  If you have to create the sweeps inside a panel family, you need to insert the detail components directly to the family.

That confirms my concern. That's rather dissappointing to be honest. This would be especially useful where you a creating a family that contains assemblies with their own specifc details such that cutting those components in the locations where they occur would yield the appropriate ones. I don't understand why this is not the case already. Oh well...Revit ain't perfect.

I think I knew this, as all my profile families from a while ago are created with the Detail Item in the Extrusion family and not the profile family, but I apparently forgot this and created a whole bunch of profiles with a DI nested in and ran into these issues, and thus found this thread. This is really crappy and I do not see at all why they would have it set up like this. I think I'm going to add this to the Ideas forum because this needs to be remedied.

I have found that if I use a wall sweep, the nested detail items will show up, but if it is a model in place profile sweep, they will not show up.

 

Hope this helps. 

 

Autodesk should really address this issue.
