Family with variable section and variabel detail component

[acurraj]

Hello everyone,

I was wandering if there si a way to nest 2 different detail components in a curtain wall family.

We want to have the correct detail according to where the section is placed in the model.

Let's say section 1 has a certain detail, and section 2 has a diferent detail.

I tried loading a family with a detail component in it (colored red in the images), but with no luck, Revit still shows both when the section is palced over the red family.

Hope this is clear, and someone can sort it out!

Maybe this image will explain a bit more!

It's not clear to me what you are trying to accomplish, but Details can be moved from the Detail Plane (e.g. the plane closest to you in the View) to the Work Planes they were drawn on by deselecting Draw In Foreground -- as explained in this AKN Article:
