Shared Family With Eletrical Connector Issue

Hello,

I'm trying to create an Electrical Fixture with a shared family inside, this shared family has a Symbol (Generic Annotation) and an Electrical Connector.

I already did this, but when I power the family with the Electrical Connector this happens.

I guess Revit thinks the connector is on position (0,0)...

 

When I have a normal family and a shared family this happens,

Someone has an idea to fix this problem.

 

Thanks,

1. Open the annotation family and make sure that it is centered on the reference lines Draw a box around it that just touches the top most, bottom most, left most, and right most points. Then make sure the center of that box is on the intersection of the reference lines.

 

2. Do the same with the connector.

 

3. Align them all in the family.

 

I've had similar problems when combing model families and annotation families.

Hello,

 

When you have a nested family with electrical connectors, Revit will consider it as in (0,0,0) point, this is the behavior of the software
