The problem is with pipe connector within nested families. There are two solutions:

1) Remove connectors from nested families and add in master family. I recommend this, because with connectors within nested families are a lot of issues, e.g. there is no way to connect a pipe manually.

2) Create nested families as not face based.

- To do opt 2 it is hard for me because i am use basins family from manufacturer, do you have idea to create new one from old family of manufacturer, Thanks.
