Just to share a tip on when using Nested Families for family creation.

 

In case the nested families are not showing correctly, Autodesk suggests enabling the Shared feature. To my view this can be the start with a confusing model file with lots of families that should not be listing.

 

There is another way of doing it, for some cases, at least, without resorting to enabling Shared nested families.

Edit the nested family category to match the host one.

hi,

do you mean that they should be set as same family category?
