I have created a wall hosted casework family but when I place the family it cuts into the surface of the wall. I have attached the family. What am I doing incorrectly?
Dont know what youre doing, but when I loaded your family into my model, it sits about 3/4" off the wall... not into the wall....the only issue, is now that its in my model, my clients are going to want it....

I have created a wall hosted casework family but when I place the family it cuts into the surface of the wall. I have attached the family. What am I doing incorrectly?
Change the wall thickness in the family and see that your casework will not move to match it. You have to constrain the casework to the wall face reference plane.
An easier/lazier way to fix it is to nest your family in another wall based family, then load that family in your project.
@Anonymous : I examined you family a bit more, and I think you can fix it just by adding some constrains to it (e.g. aligning and locking geometries to Ref. Planes and placing Locked Dimensions.
Thank you. I was not the original builder of the family, but have stepped in to help make it useful. I think I may just start from scratch and build new. I am now having issues with the light fixtures and top valance/trim piece being visible in the floor plan even though they are above the cut plane. I even turned of lighting fixtures but they still remain visible. I will try constraining as suggested, and see if that helps. I did figure out if I change the wall thickness it acts properly, and I also noticed that sometimes when inserted it sits off the wall and not flush. Also running into that on another family--what causes this?
FWIW: Bradley makes fully parametric stall/partition Revit families that you can download directly from their website. Check out how they build theirs. Might be helpful.
I had to change the thickness of the wall in the family to match the thickness of the wall in the model to keep the family from burying into the wall in the model
