Problem When Load Family Inside model in place

[Anonymous]

When Load Family Inside model in place  the Generic Annotation of the loaded family disappear. What is the reason?

I upload the family and a screencast.

Thank you.

I do not know the reason, maybe not considered, or maybe by design or maybe a bug.

However, why are you place a loadable family inside an in-place component? Normally in place components are used for special (one-off) models. And as soon as you will have multiple instances of a component you will usually create a loadable family. I seldom use in-place components.

However if you want to use a generic annotation inside the in-place component you could load it directly (not hosted in your loadable family), then it will show.

Thank you. using the generic annotation directli inside the in place family doesn't solve my problem.Because I will use more than one family inside the model in place and each one will have different parameters.

My guess is that the Generic Annotation's "Show only if instance is cut" is CHECKED. 

How'd I do? 

...just tested.  Here's how the component looks on placement into in-place editing environment:

...and here's how the component looks after clicking on Finish Model and exiting In-Place Editor:

But still the question. Why do you place loadable families inside an in-place component?

We normally try to avoid in-place components. Only for one-offs and if we do not need them in future projects.

So placing loadable families inside an in-place family seems odd to me.

On top of that, why model as loadable family and not use the walls system family?

I would agree with you, @L.Maas.  Still, the disappearing Anno trick was neat.  I don't know if I'll ever have a practical application for it though.

@barthbradley I have looked and this is not the case. It is unchecked in the family

@Anonymous I tried some other settings and I noticed that when I set the family "Partition-Wall-System-001-1.rfa" to shared the generic annotation will be shown when clicking finished....weird.

I hadn't notice that the OP posted the file. Just downloaded and tested your solution and it works like a charm! Now the question is WHY it doesn't work when it's not shared.  Hmm?  I got to think about this.  

Thanks for sharing, @L.Maas.
