Nested Family Woes

I'm banging my head against the wall here because I have several beautifully working trim pieces and suddenly the SAME THING won't work: I have a door family with nested panel and trim families. I also have a window family with similar nested trim families. There's one with trim around the window and one with trim on top. They all work great. The standard door trim works great. When I load the door trim with trim only on top of the door, it goes across the bottom of the door instead. I did associate the height parameter. It's also the SAME family as the other door trim with the side pieces removed and saved under a new name. I've tried changing constraints and parameters and reloading and overriding and everything I can think of, and I am so stuck... any ideas? I'm uploading the family in case that helps. Feel like it's something simple I am missing?

Which nested family is it?

Oh oops sorry, it's the exterior trim, the "Masonry" one with only the header and no side trim pieces.

Put a Model Line in the Masonry Family from Ref. Level to bottom of header trim.  

 

...you can make it invisible.

...Make sure you align and lock the end tips of the ML to the Top Ref. Plane and Ref. Level.

It's already associated with the reference plane at the top of the opening. I'm not sure why a model line would work better? I can try it just seems strange so I'm curious as to what the functional difference would be.

Oh wait, let me make sure I'm understanding you, are you saying to put a line horizontally or vertically as you look at the elevation of the door?

Ok I did it and it worked. That's super weird - why does that work?!

 

LOL thanks

...Or you can just add another horizontal Ref. Plane, make it an Origin, and align and lock to the Ref. Level.
