Family creation error

I have been working through the online tutorial for creating a Roof truss, which has been going well. The problem is i put it a generic roof template( i thought this made sense?) but the problem is my Truss family model now has a random ceiling floating in the model space(see below tiny dots apart).It wont let me hide in view any ideas thanks?

Edit the family.

  1. You should be able to hide the ceiling, if not delete it.
  2. Try to give the ceiling a Yes/No Visibility parameter. When you load the family into a Project, you will be able to toggle the visibility of the ceiling.

That's because the ceiling has been put there by the system - you are stuck with it.

 

Do this - edit the family, select the ceiling, and at the bottom of the screen click on the 'sunglasses' This will allow you to hide the ceiling. Save the family and reload into your model.

You could try to convert this roof-based family into a face-based family. 

 

Load the family into a Project - let's call it 1

Open a new blank Project - let's call it 2

Link 1 into 2

Click on Copy/Monitor. Ask Copy/Monitor to copy the truss - you will see a squiggly mark when that happens.

Click Stop Monitoring.

Remove linked file 1. You will be left with the copy of the truss.

Copy/Monitor changes families to face-based families.

 

You can then Saveas the truss as a new .rfa. 

 

Hope that this works.
