hello friends,

any idea about that? normally "instant parameter" in a nested family can be seen in host property platte, but seem strange, I am using a student version, is that a reason?

Thanks

No it is not a reason.  Profile is type base so you cannot change instance parameters one the profile is used to for a geometry.  Edit type and change.

Hello  @ToanDN 

if so, (1) will shared parameter can work? (2) if I need to blend with 2 circle (one big one small) at two ends,  that means i need to create 2 separate profile family （just for 2 circles with 2 radius?)

Thanks

Shared parameters make no difference. If you need two profiles then you need to create two types in the same family or in different families.
