I created a wall hosted casement family with a sink and a few other nested families.

Many of the nested families show up in my room schedule - in the correct room.

However, a number of wall hosted nested families show up in the schedule just floating out there in space - not in a room, when in fact they are. 

Also - the casement family itself - the base, counter, and uppers - which is wall hosted - does not show up in a particular room, but just at the top of the schedule, floating in space.

Why do some wall hosted families do this while others don't?  I've already checked the nested families to see if they are truly within the bounds of the wall - vs - penatrating into the core, or past the core, and they are fine. 

Thanks,

Aiden

<I meant to call this an equipment schedule, not a room schedule.>

I've run into this in the past and had different reasons. how is your room computation setup? centerline of wall, face of finish?

try putting a wall in the middle of the room (non room bounding) and attach your family to it and see if it shows up.

Be careful with invisible lines in families as they can throw off where Revit says the family resides.  I believe Reference lines may affect this as well.  I try to keep all of these elements within the "boundry" of where my family should reside.

I put the wall in the middle of the room and still had the same problem.  

However - when I looked at the elevation of the family in the level,

it was -1/256" below the actual finished floor height.

Once I set this to zero, everything suddenly popped into the room on the schedule.

 Thanks to both Alabaster and WWHub for your help.  SOLVED!

Can you schedule a family that is loaded into another family?
