French door family help

[skyeg3206316]

well I thought I was good at families but this one really stumped me... When you change the width of the door, one of the doors swing details doesn't respond as its parameters says it should. The other door swing detail works as it should. As far as I can tell they are the same detail family.

Please help!

Thanks in advance,

you need to go all the way back to the Panel Detail family and change the Panel Width parameter from a type parameter to an instance parameter. Reload it into the Door_Plan_Detail and override parameters. You then need to pick the Panel_Detail and in the properties, pick Panel Width and make it equal Width. Reload the Door_Plan_Detail into the door family and now it all works. Otherwise, I think this is a nice family.

Thanks a lot, I I don't understand why it has to be an instance parameter to work but it does thank you
