Nested Family help - Voids for a door not turning off with on/off toggles

I have been working on creating a nested elevator door family with a simply right/center/left placement option.  There is also linework associated with each placement.   The issue is the door and linework adjust with each type name but the void doesn't shut off when the door is off.  I have attached the family and images  Is it a simple parameter or something I am missing.   Maybe my process is off.   The idea behind this family is to make it easy for the end user to drop an elevator door into the project and the family show up properly in plan in a simply manor.  The dashed lines represent the inside face of the shaft wall   Thank you in advance for your help.

I would suggest managing the Nested Families via Family Type Parameters. There's quite a few tutorials and videos on-line to assist you if the concept is new to you. 

 

Here's one:

Either that or put the Opening in the Host Family (not in the Nested Families) and control its sizing via Parameters/Formulas.

You welcome.

 

FWIW, on second look, the first approach I mentioned wouldn't work in your case - but the second approach will.

See revised family.  You can get rid of all the left center right formula parameters.

@ToanDN Thank you for the family.  I have a quick question for you.  In order to make the family work in a project environment will I need to add the Parmenter you used to my project?   Your family works within itself but when imported into a project it doesn't toggle as it should.

No you don't need to add any parameters to the project. Load the family and select the type you want and that's it.

Just to clarify, all's I did was exactly what I suggested in Message 3: put the Host Wall Void Cut into your Host Family only and control its location via Formula-Driven Parameter.  Bada bing.  Finito.
