Hey there - I've built a series of windows that are behaving in their own family file, but then when I try to load them into a project it says that it can't make the type. The weird thing is that I have made two other versions of the same window and they are loading fine.....any ideas what I've done wrong?? Thanks

The problem with your family was that it wasnt parametric, and a lack of constrains mess all the types.

check this ( is your family, but parametric, and it doesnt have all the geometry you need, and it might be wrong, re-doit)

Change the ARRAY_WIDTH to control the number of windows, it cant be less than 3 ( thats couse it overrides the number of vertical elements between the windows, wich is 2)

You can make reverse engineering to figure how to make that same (or complete it) on others new families.

I use some sweeps instead of extrusions, thats becouse you only constrain the path, and not ALL the geometry

I use instanced family on window and on the vertical element, coz its better for the performance , and you can control better the overall geometry.

Hope it helps
