Creating a Nested Family with Interchangeable Subcomponents
You can create families with interchangeable subcomponents. For example, you can create a window family
and nest multiple shutter types within it. By creating and applying the family type parameter to the shutters,
you can load the family into a project and select the shutter type as an instance or type parameter depending
on the setting you specified within the nested family.
If you need the subcomponents of the nested family to tag and schedule individually, make sure each family
that you load into the host family is shared. See
Shared Families on page 410 for more information.

a family type parameter
Creating and Applying a Family Type Parameter
You can create a family type parameter to control the type of family within a nested family. The family type
parameter can be an instance or type parameter. Once you label a nested component as a family type
parameter, subsequently loaded families of the same type automatically become interchangeable without
any further work. For example, if you add 2 transoms to a door family, you only have to position one of the
transoms, label it as a family type parameter, and the other transom becomes part of the list of available
transoms. If you load 5 more transom types, they are all available for selection.
To nest components in family:
1 Open or start a new family.
2 Load the components that you want to nest within the family. For example, if you are in a door
family, load several transom types.
To position nested components:
3 On the Design Bar, click Component and place the first component at its desired location.
NOTE In this case, you would also want to tie the width of the transoms to the width of the door.
Depending on your specific circumstances, you may want to consider a similar action. This ensures
that as components swap, they remain in the same position and the same size.
4 Select the nested component.
5 On the Options Bar, in the Label drop-down list, select Add Parameter.
