Hi,
What is the best practice for managing multiple types of the the same family when the types can no be controlled by parameters?
The example below are type of the same post, yet are all different. They cannot be scaled or controlled dimensionally.
The 3 ways I can think of to control these family types are:
1. Individual Detail family for each type.
2. All types as lines in 1 family and controlled with visibility parameters.
3. All types as nested families in 1 parent family, controlled by 'Family Type' parameter.
Option 1 has the smallest file size, option 2 is easier for other users to understand, option 3 is the best option in my opinion but would love to know your thoughts and work practices for such examples.

What's wrong with 3 separate families like you are showing in your screenshot?
If you want to keep all options in one family then nest them in one family, create a Family type parameter (label) to have a dropdown list to choose which one to show in project.
Simple is best...but defining simple...not so...simple haha.
+1 for @toan nesting and controlling with a Family Types drop down list.
