I built a nested door family. I created a series of generic "door panel" families which I catagorized as "doors" and loaded in to my "Door Frame Type 2" family. I selected the nested "door panel" family and set it to have a "Family Type" instance parameter. This way a single door frame type can have any of the 5-6 door types I made without each one needing to be a separate family (e.g., full glass, flush, half glass, etc).
That family works exactly how i want it to with one exception.
Within the project file, when I select one of these"Door Frame Type 2" families, and then go tothe instance parameter for "Door_Panel_Type" - the pull down menu is giving me not just the 5-6 nested door panels I had loaded into the Family - it is also giving me options for every door type loaded into the Project File itself (including the family into which it is to be nested thereby creating an infinite loop of nesting... )
Needless to say - if you I select any of the non "Door_Panel" options the component breaks and it wants to delete itself. But i can't figure out how to delete these unwanted options form the family. Any Clues?
