Hi all, 

I am traying to make parametric array family with nested family of an panel element with posibility to manipulate panel elements after family is placed in the project: instance parameters of the nested family and visibility paramater of the element inside of an array. 

Would it be possible something like that and could you guide how to achieve result ?

Here is a quick outline of how to link parameters from a nested family into a host family. Once you have done this Changing the parameters in the host family will update the ones linked in the nested family. Note that if the nested family is using instance parameters when you associate them they will only associate to the instance placed. It is often better to use type parameters in the nested families.
