Modified Family with Dissappearing sinks...

[Anonymous]

I have a sink family I created a while back (image below).  It works like a champ but I would like to make a double sink family.  When I went to modify the family by creating a second nested sink family inside this family everything looks fine until I get to its insertion in the project.  Both sinks dissappear!  Wondering what I'm doing wrong.  I've looked at it in 3d view in the project as well and the sinks just aren't there.  I've attached both the broken double sink family and the working single sink family.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Seems to display properly in the project for me.

I think I see what you are talking about -- the sink bowl is sitting inside solid geometry. You need some cutting voids to make is visible -- to remove the solid geometry surrounding bowl.

Hi @Anonymous

I tried inserting your family into a new project and it appears fine.

Can you check your view range settings?

Yes, that is another problem with that family.  :).  I've been smarter about my carcass modeling since then.  I started out modeling the cabinet as a simple box and this complicated the voiding process AND wasn't particularly realistic.  Thanks for checking it out.  I'm afraid sometimes I sometimes find workarounds that cause me to avoid - instead of solve - the conflict.  That is what happened here.  Thank you for checking in.

Hmmm.  Yes, I check the view range and even looked at it in a 3d view alongside my single sink.  I could see the single sink but couldn't see the double.  Curious.  Thanks for checking it out.  I'm afraid sometimes I find workarounds that cause me to avoid - instead of solve - the conflict.  That is what happened here.  Thank you for trying to help.
