I probably should have started a new post to ask this question instead of replying to an existing older post because I have noticed many reads but no replies.

I need to understand what I am doing wrong with creating this simple window.

(see original post dated 06-05-2008 by tach5) I started with Cathy's base file and began adding the frame and glazing. I generated a frame profile and swept the perimeter which is locked with the family parameters (I think). The glass is an extrusion which sits inside the storefront profile and I thought I had that locked with the ref planes & line also.

When I "flex" the family parameters, the frame works fine but the glass does not flex with the sloped head.

I am very new so I must be missing something simple .......

My intent was to create a simple aluminum storefront window that I could adjust frame dimensions for width, height, and pitch of roof. Being very new to Revit, understanding every nuance is hard. Any assistance from you masters would be appreciated.

See attached file for how I screwed it up.
