Types of a nested family driven by types of host family

[simon.jerabek]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a family whose types drive types of a nested family, but somehow the geometry of the nested family does not change, when choosing another type of the host family, see here:
1M = 63x63mm:

1,5M = 90x63mm:

The nested family keeps its geometry and parameters, even though the host family parameter is set to change it.

I have done this successfully before, so I am really puzzled what I have done wrong. Can a fresh pair of eyes take a look at this?

Edit the nested family and change all parameters controlling Geometry from Instance to Type.

[simon.jerabek]

There are no instance parameters in the nested nor the host family.

I tested your family and it looks like that on screen. Is this representation not correct ?

[simon.jerabek]

Yes it is a correct representation of the nested family (except for one of them being mirrored for some reason), now I need it to behave like that when driven by the host family.

I don't see an issue with any of the 9 types.  

I can see how one could accidently change the Shared Nested Family ( "EL. Technical frame FUGA (1-1,5-2M) - LK" ) instead of the Parent Family ("Electrical Socket Frame") in the Project.

Associate the label to the nested family.  It is currently <None>.  See revised family.

Oh yes, that was the problem. Works as intended now, thanks for your help!
