Families making groups behave strangely

Anonymous
Not applicable

I've just created some new families, which have other families loaded in (so for example, a toilet and toilet roll holder together in the same family).  I load them into the project, they behave fine.  But when I add them to a group, the group 'outline' becomes enormous.  If I load the families in individually (so, the toilet and holder separately) this issue doesn't happen.  

 

Attached a screenshot of the example group 'outline'.

 

Help?!

Have you checked the family to see if it's a rogue element?  

 

Let us have a look at it. Post the file.

Each family I've made has a few different families in it.  I'll stick with the example I used previously.

 

I've made a family up that has a toilet and toilet roll holder in it.  When I load that family in, and add to the group, I get the strange result.

 

If I load each INDIVIDUAL family in, so the toilet and the roll holder separately, I don't get this result.  So it doesn't seem to be rogue elements in the families (though I have checked)

These are two of the culprits.

Had this same issue before... it's the connector, but I don't know how to fix it other than just deleting them.

treat, thanks!!!

Doesn't really solve why it happens, if someone needs it.  But for my case it's fine.
