Detail Item Family with nested families picks up project extra families

A colleague of mine has created a detail item family with an instance parameter that allows to select different family types that are nested in the family.

Unfortunately, when that family is loaded into a project, also picks up *some* other detail items families making the selectable list of options quite long. 

 

I would like to know why is picking up some detail items and not others and how to force my detail item family to have only the nested families available when creating instances.

 

Thanks

It's a drawback of the Family Types Parameter. A workaround would be to re-categorize the Family Type to a category you don't normally use in your Project. Maybe "Nurse Call Devices"?  Do you get the concept and what would need to be done?

Thanks for your answer, but I don't think you understand. I am talking about Detail Items, there are no other categories available from within the family.

After looking carefully at the other detail families that were avaiable in the family type parameter once the family was loaded into a project, I noticed that they were 'shared' once I cleared the checkbox the families dissapeared from the llist.

That is how the Family Type Parameter works....it looks for Shared families.  Makes it fun with doors when both the panel and frame are separate parameters but they show in the same list.
