Hello, I am making a nest family system (like a lego with many interlocking parts),
please adviceif this process of nest family can be more practical to fit streamline factory production), -- the key concern is that : there shall be ONE set of constrains/reference as the central hub, then all other children rfa can be adjusted automatically
(1) first make a parent rfa 1. develp all the reference lines and constrains
(2) second make a model parts A (with extruction, sweep etc) with constrains and reference, same way as usual,
(3) save this rfa as another rfa name rfa 2, in which just keep the model A (with constrains and reference), then delete all other irrelevent lines, constrains and elements. then use this rfa 2 as a child rfa 2
(4) load this child rfa 2 back into parent rfa 1, then replace the previous model A, then associate all the parameters
--- the result is working by testing and changing the values of parameters.
The main shortage of this process is:
it duplicate there will be many sets of constrains and reference (parent rfa 1 and children rfa 2,3,4... seperately), so once the parameter (eg size of the lego) change , then adjustment need to be made to the constrain/reference for two and many times (in rfa 1 and rfa 2,3,4...).
Thanks

If the variations/types are known and can be standardized as types, you could associate the nested instances with a Family<Type> parameters.
This would help you avoid duplication of parameters in the parent. However, this will require that you create a new type in the child whenever a new type is required in the parent.
