Family From Generic Model 2-Level Based Template Does Not Allow Work Plane Parameter

Surely there is a solution for this.  This is what happens when I try to put an instance on the 2nd Level:

 

ExtrusionProps.PNGWorklevel_1.PNGDirectShapeProps.PNG

 

It doesn't matter whether it is a DirectShape or Free Form element.  The Family Editor will not let me assign a Work Plane (Level) parameter to the solid.  Only the "glass" extrusion has it.   Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Loren

Sorry, my bad.

This is the .rfa.  I can't post the project.

 

Thanks and Happy Friday!

Sorry to say, but it's a poorly built family. What's it supposed to be anyways and why are you using a 2 Level Template?

This is my attempt at creating a precast concrete wall panel component from a circa 1965 building (I know, super weird).  It does not need to be parametric or change, other than be on the correct level.  The solid was created from CAD profiles that were extruded, combined, then a fillet was placed in each inside corner.  This was all done in Dynamo, which worked the way it was supposed to.  I tried using both  directshape and family.createbygeometry approach, but same result.  There are only two components in this thing, a solid and an extrusion.

 

I only tried the 2-level Generic template because the "Generic" generic did not work.

Yes, I tried a curtain wall approach, but it was too hard to replicate accurately, plus we want it As-built as possible.  It's one thing to extrude concrete mullions, but quite different when it it is one continuous precast unit, with glass in the middle.  If you know a better way, I'm listening.  This project is part of a larger program to translate many buildings to Revit from CAD files.

 

It shouldn't matter how crappy the family is.  If Revit will accept the solid in a template with a level (or 2), it should play nice.  When I tried to add/create a level parameter, it was not an option.  Is there a way to fillet solids in the family editor?  I couldn't find any such tool in Revit.  Otherwise, I would have stuck with my previous try, which was to join 4 extrusions, plus glass.  That worked fine.

 

Any suggestions?

See if this attachment helps.  Personally, I'd just model it all in Revit -- in the appropriate template. Still not sure what it is, but I saw the "Glass" and figured it to be a Window so I created Wall Openings for the 2 instances in the Project.

I replied before seeing/reading your last post.  FWIW.

Ok, some kind of hosting, yeah that can work!   

I am unclear on how you made a Work Plane-based family.  That's not a  a template I have, but it might not matter if I can pick the host as you show.  The attached pic is what it should look like, with the overhangs as part of the floor slab.  That must have been an interesting jobsite back in the day.

 

Thank you sir, much appreciated!

 

Have a great weekend,

 

Loren
