Radial Array ignores centre point

Hey guys, could someone please help me. Im new to revit, only recently been introduced at University. Im trying to radial array a model but the array tool behaves really weird. It seems like the midpoint which I specified has been ignored. Screenshots will probably explain my issue better. Screenshot (434).pngScreenshot (433).png

You must click to Place the center and not accept the default.

I have done that. The centre of rotation is selected on 2nd screenshot. Yet revit chooses to ignore it.

Can you share your file? Because when I replicate the issue I have no problems.

I'm noticing that the in place family is oddly designed. I believe you would get better behavior if you create as an external family and give it some Ref. Planes to adhere to. 

 

...Yep, just tested. Works far better as external family. No issues arraying. 

 

Here...try arraying attached "Family for You". Works like a charm.

Creating the plane in a different family has solved my issue. Thank you all for support.

I have uploaded the file few posts up. A solution by "barthbradley" has solved the issue. I had to recreate the vertical plane in an external family. Thank you very much for your time and help.
