We are doing a residential scheme with a lot of electrical outlets. We will produce elevations setting out all the outlets. Where a twin power socket is positioned above another twin power socket, I want to have a single family that I can place on itself, and choose to show either the 'TSSO Low Level' or the 'TSSO High Level' as a graphical symbol in plan. (This is because we will have low and med level outlets, and Med and High level outlets, and sometimes Low, Med & High level outlets, so instead of having up to 7 families to represent each combination, I place the first instance of the component on the wall as normal. The second instance of the component is placed on top of the first, but I activate the symbol second out from the wall, as so on.
I've attached an image to explain this a little further. (Note, the important part of the plan info is that the electrician can see how many sockets are required for 1st fix. He can later refer to the elevations to position them in height).
My family has only sets of symbols for plan views, but once I get this sorted will have 3 sets of symbols in plan, with 2 not visible at any one time.
And so to the *.RFA:
First problem I've got is even though I only select the, say, upper set of lines -> Element Properties ->Graphics ->Associate Family Parameter, both upper and lower set of linework gets affected.
And when I import this into the main model the family type doesn’t change.
Thanks for your patience.
