Family Type: yes/no parameter won't disappear in 3d view

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I have an issue that I can't quite solve, and will be happy to get some advice. I created a yes/no parameter so I could turn an element visibility on or off in different types, in the same family. It works great in hidden lines and wire-frame views, but not in the shaded and realistic views. When I load it in to my project all the elements sty visible.

Are you sure the yes/no parameter is under Visibility and not Other?

Please share the family so that we can come up with a solution without guessing.

Yes, it is under Visibility.

The family file is attached now.
For example, in the type named "890 cm height" I want that all the yes/no parameters wont be showed.
In the type named "950 cm height" I want that all except the "950 cm" yes/no parameters wont be showed, and ect.

Thank you.

The family is fine. When you insert it into a Project, the parameters do what they were supposed to do. The hidden objects turn orange in teh family, which is what you were seeing.

Testing of families is best done in a project - in the family things may appear a little misleading.

When I load this family into my project, I get this (photo)

Click on the object. Its Properties will come up. Click on the picture of the family. A drop down with all the family types that you have created will come up. You can switch types with the correct visibility in this way.

Yes, of course. They are different types.
The problem is that all the elements shown in all types, despite the specific type settings.

Please take a look at my project with all types inserted.

Feel free to share your project for further problem solving.

Hello @Anonymous

Your family works perfectly fine.

Is this setting on the edit type are all set properly? (see image) If so, reload the family again but this time choose "Overwrite the existing version and its parameter values". I think you already load the family in your project but you're still working out with the parameters.

Looks like you didn't override the parameters when you reloaded the family in your project.  Just edit each type of the family in the project environment and change their visibility parameters accordingly then they will be okay.
