I have a couple rooms where I've placed a curtain track/curtain family as a ceiling hosted object. I need to place these curtains in my furniture schedule, but for some reason only some of them will show up as being placed in a particular room (the others are simply listed as not having a host room)!

I've played around with adjusting the room 'Limit Offset' to match the varying ceiling heights and 'include' the curtain, but this has not worked. Is there something I'm not thinking of as far as ceiling height? ceiling type? family type properties? anything!

Any help would be great! Thanks

I have had problems with curtains because of how they are created.... sometimes the family origins are not in the room.  If I flipped the family, it came into the room.  Play with that first but you may have to alter the family.

And you may raise the room to include the ceiling.

Sometimes I just use a faced based family rather than a hosted family as they seem to be more reliable. Bit of a pain if you need to remodel the family however
