    Default Shared Parameter Materials, Break Family upon Nesting/Linking

    Whenever i try linking Shared Material Parameters for a Nested Subcomponent, I get a Can't Make Type message. I am using a Family Type parameter to swap door panels. but when I link the material Parameters, It breaks the family. any suggestions. do the parameters need to be shared at each level of the nesting?

    I'd like the Subcomponents controlled with instance parameters, and those parameters to be controlled by type parameters by the host family. this way new types only exist for the host family. I don't want to read through a list of multiple sub-component (types) in my family type drop downs.
