continuous slaughter knife doors

[monica.lena]

Here I am with a new problem to solve.
I would need that when I create the abacus of the doors inserted in the continuous facade I see separately the count of the frame and that of the glass.
Is that possible?
I can now see only the general count of the door.

Thank you.

usually when you have these needs you create a family consisting of shared nested families.http://knowledge.autodesk.com/suppo...c869d633-4714-4a6e-8b0b-f55a1c13c056-htm.html

I am trying to make a shared nested family for a door of a continuous facade as from your advice.
I immediately encounter difficulties, it is not clear to me how to bind the dimensions of the families that I carry in relation to the basic family.
I'll explain better with an example.
I created a horizontal profile for the door frame and brought it to the family of the door window panels.
everything seems to work but when I load the nested family in the project the profile does not maintain the size of the panel.
How to do that?

It's easier to say. to explain in a post it becomes a little long the question.
you have to basically map the parameters of the host family with the parameters of the host family.
See if this can helphttp://knowledge.autodesk.com/suppo...e2e6b19b-e47f-4f35-9f6d-1273a3248a50-htm.html

thank you for the link, I understood the concept that lies at the base of nested families but obviously putting it into practice is more complex.
I was able to associate the length parameters of the panel element and the frame but I was translated one compared to the other despite having set for both the bond of equality with the center.
What to do?

hard to say, so...without seeing the file...
