I am trying to schedule the properties of nested elements within a host family, I have this panel:

 

[url]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b372/snowyweston/Query-1.jpg[/url]

 

In which I have loaded (at present generic model) elements (green & blue) that flex accordingly with the change to the Panel Height, Panel Width & Panel Thickness by "pairing" the parameters. Loaded into a project I can schedule the shared parameters set within the host family to get this:

 

[url]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b372/snowyweston/A1.jpg[/url] 

 

Adding a second type of the host family, I then obviously get this:

 

[url]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b372/snowyweston/00.jpg[/url] 

 

and that's a good start, but where I am failing is to now schedule the information [i]within[/i] the host family to get at the "green & blue" parameters, ie:

 

[url]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b372/snowyweston/A.jpg[/url] 

 

Which, with the second type of the host family, would/should give me this (in the two different schedules)

How do I do this?

To post a hot link , in the options of the posting window, you will see a chanin link, highlight the words or an http address and this link option will un-ghost, pick it then enter the address (or paste it).

 

I didn't look at your links but just a sa guess, did you set the nested family to "shared"?  You must do that in the family editor before you load the family.  Under options.

I just had a look at that method - unless I'm mistaken it would appear this forum doesn't support image placement within posts - which (if the case) is a great shame as images illustrate ideas so much easier....
 
As for setting the nested family to "shared" - is this in the "family categories" section? I'll have a look at it tomorrow - it's too nice outside to sit at my computer.

You can place images ... attach - must be < 2Mb

Setting is withing the nested family, not host - uders settings/family types and parameters
