Nested Type Parameter Mapping

I'm working on a steel counter base family.

I have a stile/leg component that has 2 types: 2" or 3".

I have a left/right labels to control the stile/leg on each side.

The size of the stile/leg is controlled by the Width type parameter in the family.

I'm trying to get reference planes to adjust to the width of the stile/leg so I can get an overall of the cabinet box plus the stiles/legs.

I've tried to snap the reference plane to the outside of the stile/leg, but when I change types, it breaks.

I can't figure out a way to pass the Width type parameter from the stile/leg through to the host family to control the spacing of the reference planes.

Nesting works better if you use instance parameters. Instead of using two type let the parent drive their size. The other way is to use a Family Type parameter and assign the correct type to each type in the parent. If you're willing to share the family it's easier for someone here to critique and/or modify, and then share it back.

Don't lock everything to the reference.

if you have value A,B and value C = A+B

just lock A and B to the reference, and C just show and be edit in the parameters.

The person who originally built these family locked the subcomponents to reference planes in the host to flex them. As I work through them, I'm passing through the instance parameters to the host so one dimension changes the host and the sub.

I did have the reference lines working he way I wanted when I had two instances of the leg in the same place, with a visibility parameter to choose if you want a 2" or 3" stile.  I switched to a label on the type to make the family lighter.  But now the reference planes on the outside of the legs won't stick to the legs because they get replaced when the type changes.

I won't need to lock the reference plane to the outside of the stile if I can get he Width parameter from the stile.

@azad.Nanva I'm not sure what most of your images are showing.

Everything is in millimeters and you can easily change all sizes

@azad.Nanva I've gone back to something like what you posted because there was another hurdle with using a family type parameter.

I try not to use so many instance parameters because my drafters can't be trusted to enter sizes correctly and just stretch things so they're close.
