Making a second window frame invisible in other family type

Hi all, 

 

I'm trying to model a windows family which has two family types: 

 

one fixed

one opening 

 

for the opening frame i want to add a frame within the original frame as windows are build. I can't seem to figure out  how to make the second frame only visible in the fixed family type.

 

Could anyone send me the right way?

 

Thanks

Create a Yes/No type parameter and assign it to the frame. Turn On for the type that it shows and Off for the type that it does not.

 

See attached 2019 family.

A couple of Yes/No parameters are needed. One that is associated to the geometry's visibility parameter and the other that is controls whether it is checked or unchecked.

 

First Yes/No Parameter named "Fixed"

Second Yes/No Parameter named something like "Geometry's Visibility". This one is driven by Formula "=Fixed".

When "Fixed" is checked, "Geometry Visibility" will be automatically checked. When "Fixed" is unchecked". "Geometry Visibility" will be automatically unchecked.
