Hello,

in my window family I use several nested windows, which all can have varies glass surfaces, depending on their size. I made an parameter inside this nested familys, whis works. Except in my main window, can I read out these values? So I can use them for a total count of glass in the main window?

Hope someone understands my question, and even better, has the solution?

Thanks!

Open that "Nested Family", in "Family category and parameters" you have a "Share" option, turn that ON, now load into the main window.

Typhoon,

thanks for the reply. Doing this results in the attached announcement. I guess wanna hev both of these functionality's is not possible?

Reason that I want this, is because there's an option to select "panel", so then I could set the "glass surface" of this nested panel to zero, so this one would be ignored in the total glass surface of the main window.

But after reading some other posts over here, guess this can't be done...?
