Revit Family_ Height Constraints not working on loaded Family.

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

I have created 3 Revit Furniture Families. A drawer, cupboard swing door and a cupboard carcass. Ideally i have loaded in the door and draws into the carcass so the the drawer will tag as DRS and the cupboard as CB side by side. 

I have attached the three revit families for you to look at to see where im going wrong.

Thank you,

Set the door and drawer familes to Shared and you can tag them independently in your project.

You need to resort the reference planes and identify those planes which are reference (Top/Bottom/Left/Right/Center) and the others which are just guides set to "Not a Reference"

The main faulty step in your family is the bottom reference plane in the 2 nested families...it was set to "Not a Reference" which results in losing the shape handle when nested and subsequently prevents the nested components from resizing. 

•  EITHER (recommended) set the bottom plane as a reference >> nest the family >> lock the Shape Handel to the bottom plane of the cupboard 
• OR (alternative) leave as is and associate the Height of the Drawers/Swing Panel to a parameter in the host family
