Hosting nested generic model family to reference line in adaptive component

[Anonymous]

I am trying to make a adaptive component where I can place facade panels based on 2 points in dynamo, so that the family will always align to the normals of the surface I'm working with. I already have the lines representing these normals, so all I need is for the adaptive component to work.

I have a generic model family I made which are facade panels. I want to host this on a reference line in an adaptive component family. Trouble is no matter what I try I can't seem to host the generic model family onto the reference line.

I've tried 

1. set workplane to reference line then place component: the generic model is still placed on reference level.

2.  pick host once clicked on generic model - nothing to click, not even adaptive point or reference line.

What am I doing wrong?

As always I solved it minutes after the post.

Make sure you tick workplane based in the nested generic model family...
