    Default Problem with associating nested family parameters with host family

    I am making a case work family. I keep running into the same error when I try to associate the nested family length parameters with the host family. It says "base sketch of extrusion is invalid" and "cannot make extrusion"

    I made a cabinet and I nested a door into it. I cannot associate the rail width, I get the error every time. I also have a drawer that I am having the same problem with every diminsion. My door handle is messed up too.

    I must me doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out. Everything flexes fine, its just the association. The problem is only with the dimensions, I was able to link the materials without any trouble.

    Any help or advise would really be appreciated

    Dumb question, but in the family that it's nested into, is the "Length" parameter that you're associating it with a Valid "non-Zero" length?
    Just a dumb question.
