Reference planes - curtain wall panel family - Revit. Swith reference meaning

By opening "Curtain Wall Panel" family template - in elevation view I get 5 reference lines.

Bottom, Top, Centre, Left, Right.

It seems, that in properties of each refplane (under parameter group "Other") I can change the meaning of the reference for "Defines origin", "Left", "Right", "Front", "Strong reference" . . .

However I spent some time to realize it does not mean / change nothing. The only working thing is "Defines origin".

Example:

I inherited family of "Curtain Wall Panel"  = Door leaf with no frame around. Everything is bonded to refplanes. I want to edit that family and add Frame around that door leaf.

However by adding Right, Left & Top refplanes and switching theirs functions to Right, Left & Top is not accepted by Revit on import to project. Revit is still recognizing the original old boundaries (left, right, top).

 

(I also tried to merge that leef family into new frame family - not accepted by Revit. Only alternative left is to explode and re-bond entire family to new refplanes, which is tedious nonsense.)

 

Does anybody know how to draw new reference plane and change its function to get it work ?

Thank you.

If you want to make door leaf or what ever detail parts in the template, you have to understand how the boundary reference planes behave in a project. As you know, they automatically align with grids of loaded Curtain Walls. 

And you can get each distance of boundary using labes as Reporting Parameter.

I think it's your start point what ever you do with Curtain Wall Panel family.

 

Here is one of my works with it.

Thank U Dingohot. The video is nice - it is sure possible 2 learn a
lot from it.
However I don't C, how reporting parameters would help me 2 solve
transferring reflpanes "privileges".
Unfortunately I ended up "exploding" the family from its refplanes and
rebonding it all back 2 new ones.
Thank U anyway 4 your answer in an effort 2 help me.
