    Default Shared Window Family (family type parameter)

    Hello all!

    I am trying to create a mulled window family that has shared components (families) in it for our users to swap out pieces to what they want. I think I have run into a lmiitation of Revit, but let me know what you guys find. I have attached the family.

    The rundown is this:

    Separate shared families for this items are brought into the overall family:
    frame
    sill/lintel
    "window type" (double hung vs casement, etc.)
    shared into the window types are the different types of window sashes I would like (victorian, standard, prairie)

    the Window Type has a family type parameter assigned to it in the overall family so users can switch between DH / Casement in the project. This works okay.

    What does not work is the sash "panel" (upper/lower in the double hung) family type parameter inside the window type. The Sash Type and Sash Type Upper and Sash Type Lower Parameters can only be changed by selecting the instance of the Window Type and changing the pulldown

    The family types dialog box shows these parameters, but they do not change anything when I switch the sash panel types.

    I have not fully tested the rest of the family either, but it seems to work okay so far

    Any Ideas?

    Thanks

    Dave P
