PROBLEM WITH DBLE-PLAIN WINDOW FAMILY

[christopher_c_donovan]

WORKING IN REVIT 2016 - CREATING WINDOWS OF DIFFERENT SIZES [WIDTH/HEIGHT] FROM THE DBLE-PLAIN FAMILY. 

FOUND MYSELF WITH THE PROBLEM THAT ALL WINDOWS I CREATED WITH A DIFFERENT HEIGHTS PRODUCED DOUBLE HEIGHTS [I WAS WORKING FROM THE ORIGINAL 910X910mm WINDOW]. WIDTH ADJUSTED OK BUT HEIGHT NOT. 

FOUND A LINK TO THE PROBLEM ON THIS WEBSITE BUT CLEARLY HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD IT! 

WENT BACK INTO WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE ORIGINAL [OUT OF THE BOX] FAMILY AND FOUND THE ATTACHED WINDOWS - ALL WINDOWS NOT 910mm IN HEIGHT ARE DOUBLE.  

REALLY FOXED AS TO HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS. NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE - APPRECIATE YOU SHOULD DUPLICATE THE MASTER BEFORE ALTERING THE WIDTH/HT DIMS AND MAY HAVE B****** IT UP SOME TIME IN THE PAST WITHOUT KNOWING IT BUT NOW NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT!  ONCE FAMILY LOADED INTO PROJECT IT JUST SEEMS TO REPLICATE ITSELF NO MATTER WHAT TACK I TAKE. CAN'T EVEN CHANGE THE ORIGINAL FAMILY FILE.

The frame is not associated properly to the top ref plane / height parameter.

I thought they were manufacturer's families until I saw the pictures.

Perhaps that is the intent of the manufacturer to limit the maximum height of single panel windows.  Sure it can be fixed in the families but I suggest you to check the manufacturers cut sheets.

You "sound" really frustrated. All caps. 😉  

Let us check it out this family.  Post it here.

Hi Barth

I attach a Revit project file with the original 910x910mm Window and its
1200x1200 variant. NB unless I have inadvertently changed it the 910x910 is
the original out of the box Autodesk file that comes with REVIT.
Thanks for your interest/help
