Great video. Very helpful. Having a little challenge. When i align the leaf to the hinge and change the angle, it does'nt stay aligned in place. Any solution?
Maybe try this alternative in the next video to see if it works better, I find it more reliable for leafs generallly: ua-cam.com/video/rH2LyJRArPI/v-deo.html
Sorted :) Still confused with instance / type nesting :) I believe Instance -> Instance -> Type would give the same result as Type - Type - Type nesting as final family level overseeds it all or something like that. One day I will fully understand it :) Great job, thanks a lot. Cant wait for a course to buy. Is it going to be some kind of kitchen family or maybe beds with imported 3ds max geometry?
It will likely be a few common family types. I tend to avoid bringing heavy polys into Revit given programs like Enscape can just load RPC content these days. Might do a video on this type of process though as some find it useful still Whilst instance to type nesting can achieve the same result, type to type nesting for nonshared families can allow you to control multiple elements at once (e.g. 4 legs of a table) and also avoids issues with parametric arrayed nested families if you try to swap parameters (it will try to ungroup if it's instance based.
The only difference is the way the component is built, I believe the components don't need to be locked as they are hosted by origin at the end of the reference line naturally.
Reference hosting is so good. Keeps the family a lot cleaner without so many reference lines. Really helps with those angles too. Great work Gavin!
Cheers Alan! Sure does.
great video👍
Thanks!

So helpful this video dude. Thanks a lot! I have the same mistake you said with the extreme facepalm image 😅. Thanks again!
Haha yep happens to me often
is there any difference for lock and not lock door leaf family in main family.(for angle)?
