Please see attached family & image from project

In R09 I made the family out of 3 separate families, lift car, lift shaft with door & an infill panel, the shaft is an array of the door panel & panel families. Now when I put this into a project the sections show up reversed for some reason!

I have checked the family file & the same happens in there too - no idea why, it all looks ok in 3D & plan but when you cut it it goes a bit mad, anyone got any ideas? Also my lift car's not showing up either which is slightly annoying. There are no masking regions at all. I have a feeling it has something to do with the array but I can't think what it would be! Arrg! hope this isn't a waste of a day!

Help appreciated!

Thanks!

The problem may be the cuttable switch.  When a non-cuttable family is cut anywhere, the whole family is shown. 

Try setting the nested families to shared....

Thanks WWHub, but I just did a search agian & found out about the cuttable switch - I have never come across that before! Thanks for the advice, I'm going to change it & see what happes (and make a list of non-cuttable families for easy reference)! Cheers
