All, I am pondering how to create an expansion joint family. It will ultimately be an extruded profile, however I am not sure what template to use. Perhaps I create one as ceiling based, one as roof based, one as wall based and one as floor based for expansion joing covers and each respective location. The expansion joint should be hosted by something, but in order to represent the expansion joint correctly, it will be hosted by two objects, the two objects it spans in order to cover. Any thoughts before I take the jump? Chris

I don't think the two parts need to be seperated. In a wall assembly I would just use a walls sweep or wall reveal. The real question is what information do you want. Do you need to track the LF of expansion? If not you could use a Model line. If you do a wall sweep can be tracked but not a reveal. If you want a single solution for all I would make a face based component that is also line based.

I see component templates that are face based, and templates that are line based, you suggest doing both. Any thoughts on doing this?

Design a line based family and nest it into a faced base family. You will loose some of the benifit of a line based family doing this but it will work..

really what you want is a wall / ceiling / floor hosted 3d line based family. So would you nest a 3d line based family into a wall based family?
