Scheduling Nested pipe fittings
Hello,
Nested components in pipe fittings are not assigned to any systems, this is also the reason they may get black, if you use pipe systems to define component colors.
This is a long time issue, at least since Revit 2013, when I started to use it.

Hello,
I created a shared parameter which value is transferred from the host family to the nested family.
But I believe the best solution is using worksets, in this case you don´t need any parameter.

Hello,
You must have the same parameter on the nested and in the host family, in the nested family, make it instance type.
In the host family, select the nested family, in the properties, link the nested family shared parameter to the host shared parameter, this way you transfer the value from the host to the nested family.

Hello,
Check the modified family, I created a family parameter, you must change it to a Shared parameter to use in schedules.

Hello,
The SYSTEM parameter MUST be instance one on the nested family, so then can acquire the value from the host family.
To assign the SYSTEM parameter value, you have to select the placed nested family and in the PROPERTIES window, not type properties link the host SYSTEM parameter. Also to appear in schedules the nested family Shared parameter must be checked.

Hello,
I saw that you have different nested families within the same family, do you plan to exchange them?
If yes, you must create a family type parameter selecting the pipe fitting category, when you exchange the nested family, the parameter link remains.

Hello Andy,
Tonight I won´t be able to check your file, but I created the family type parameter in your family.
Check if you understood. When you create a new type you can change the nested family.

Hello andy.van.slambrouck,
I checked your family, NLRS_52_PIF_UN_Wadal T-stuk_PVC_Wavin, then I opened branch with reducer family, in here the SYSTEM parameter was type, I changed to instance. You have many levels of nesting components, so I needed to make the same procedure at each level.
Then in NLRS_52_PIF_UN_Wadal T-stuk_PVC_Wavin family, I selected branch with reducer family, and in the properties I linked the host SYSTEM parameter with the nested family SYSTEM, so the value from the host will be transferred to the nested family. But I needed to repeat the process in all nesting levels.
Then I reload the family in the project.
Now you got some data.
I hope you can understand what I did.

Hello Andy,
Unfortunately the parameter won´t be filled automatically, you can create a Dynamo routine to do it, otherwise it will be manual.
