I have created a Hollow Metal frame family in which I want to nest several different door panels Wood, HM, Alum, etc... I have modeled each panel as a separate nested family and in the end I want to create on/off yes/no parameters that allow whom ever in our office is placing the door into their project to simply select the type of door panel they want in the frame. So far I can get the on/off to work when I have only two differing panels nested in the family, but not when I have 3 or more panels nested. Is there a different formula I need to use once I exceed two panels?
Also, and probably the bigger of the two problems, is when I created the panels I assigned them all their appropriate and differing materials. When I nest them into the frame family and place that family into the project it will not schedule the door material. What needs to be done for this material to be scheduled, and is it even possible for this to be scheduled by using the on/off yes/no parameters to choose which door panel you have in the frame?
I have started playing with shared parameters as I have read that only shared parameters can be scheduled. Am I on the right track? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
