Changing the Appearance of the Detail Component
Detail Components are included as a category you can define using the Object Styles command. See

Styles
on page 484.
Linking Family Parameters
By linking family parameters, you can control the appearance of families nested inside host families from
within a project view. You can control either instance or type parameters.
To link parameters, they have to be the same type. For example, link a text parameter in the host family to
a text parameter in the nested family.
You can link a host-family parameter to more than one nested family parameter of the same type. Also, you
can link this parameter to multiple nested families.
Creating Family Parameter Links
1
Create a family with either instance or type parameters of the available types. See
Creating New

With the new family open, click Component on the Design Bar and place as many instances of
the loaded family as desired.

Click Settings menu
➤
Family Types, or click Family Types on the Design Bar.

heading. There are also gray buttons next to certain parameters, indicating that they can be
linked to other parameters.
9
Click the button next to a parameter, either instance or type, that is of the same type as the one
you created in Step 6. For example, if you created a text parameter, you must select a text
parameter here.

In the dialog that appears, select the parameter you created in Step 6 to associate it with the
current parameter, and click OK.
NOTE
When you associate 2 parameters, an equal sign appears on the button:
