I was able to procure a set of Lowen windows for Revit but there is something strange happening that I can't figure out.  The windows show up in the level below as well as the level they are inserted into.  I've searched for an invisible line but can't find one.  If you open the attached window family you'll see there is something odd with the location of the window in the wall but I'm not sure how to resolve this.

 If someone doesn't mind opening this and taking a look I'd greatly appreciate it!

 

Thanks...

I think i don't understand well what you mean... Did you "Play" with the "Sill Height"?

Move the Ref. plane to the "Floor Line" then i think your problem is solved...

Yes, I'll give you an example. I inserted a 66" tall window with the sill height at 14" and the head height at 80", and the window shows perfectly on the 2nd floor (where I inserted it). Then I go to the first floor plan and it's just floating in the middle of a room (the room directly below the wall it was inserted into above).

Seems to work fine here.  You must have done something else.

Ok, thanks for your help... it looks like the parameter "Sill Height" that was in the family was conflicting with something.  I deleted it from the family and everything works like a charm.  I had previously set the instance sill height which placed the window in the correct location, but the type parameter "Sill Height" was different, and it didn't effect the location of the window, just where the window would be visible.  I'm still not sure I quit understand it but it's working great now... I guess that could be a nice way of making transoms show up in a normal view plane without having to do a plan region, I just had never seen it done like that.

 

Thanks for taking a look at the family...
