Hi everyone! I am trying to create a nested family in order to represent an assembly consisting of a solenoid valve, check valve, and flow switch. It would be great if I could create a new hosted family, import the components, hook them all up together and "wrap them all inside a "box". Once I load that assembly into the project, I would like to be able to tap into the connectors of the components. For example, the assembly above will have electrical connectors in the solenoid and flow switch component families. These connectors need to be accessed by the electrical consultant. But every time I create a nested family, none of the connectors in the component families can be accessed. This is the same with adding P-traps to sink families or floor drains. Hope someone can point out what I'm missing. Any link, reference, document would be great also! Thanks in advance Joe

Did you set all the families to shared? In the family editor for each family under settings / categories and parameters...

Ah, then I suppose I should make duplicates of the families I intend on using THEN set those parameters to "shared", so that I can continue to use those individual families separately.... I'll look into this, thanks very much.

Actually, I don't think you need to make seperate families. The purpose of this setting is to hide information in nested families. Items that are not really part of the project like manufacturer's sub components. For most families that we create, we want all the information to show and schjedule so nested or not, this setting should not matter if it is set to shared.
