Generic model dont cut in floorplan

[511970GAGWL]

Hi all 

i have question over a nested family and cutting on the floor plan 

So i have door where u can choose if u would like to add a plinth
but when u go to the floor plan it would not cut ad the indicated height. 

i cant use shared family because the family would not chance the dimentions. ( for different door heights and widths)
and i cant hide them and draw them. because when u choose without plint the still see the drawing. 

family template with plinth

family template without plinth

Work template 

can anyone help ?

Hi,

The most simple way is to model the plinth in separate parts and make the top plinth not visible in Plan/RCP.

Another method is to change the Door category to Generic model.

i see but now it moddels the corner of the profile together because i used sweep and if i them seperate it will not be anymore.

You can also model the Plinth inside the door family. Then it works too.

yes true but then the plinth will always be there am i right? 
and i would like the option in the properties to remove it

[ralphdenhaan]

you can add a yes/no parameter to make it visible or not visible:

that didn't work for me but i splitted the plinth and set the top plinth not visible in Plan/RCP

Thank u

Make the Parameters that you want to associate to Host Parameters INSTANCE (not TYPE) Parameters.  Shared Families cannot have their TYPE parameters driven by a Host Family.
