Whenever I make a Face-Based Plumbing Fixture and load it into a model, instead of having an adaptive "Level" parameter in the "Constraints" catergory, it has an instance parameter in the "Other" catergory called "Schedule Level". (See image attached)
This is a huge problem for scheduling because the family itself doesn't seem to know what level it's on, so I have to manually input the "Schedule Level." What's worse is that this sink is part of a model group that's located on several different levels, so if I assign "Level 1" to one of the sinks, all other instances of that sink will schedule as being on Level 1, even though they're on different levels.
The sink seems to know what object it's hosted to (as evidenced by the "Host" parameter in the "Constraints" catergory). The countertop that the sink is hosted to is a simple Generic Model (extrusion, no voids or cuts). Is there a way for the sink to automatically associate to the same level its host is associated to? Was there a step I missed in the Family Editor that would have made the sink automatically associate to the correct level?

We can't help you without really seeing the family but you are correct from what I can see, you are just hosting to an object and not a level/floor and that comes from the family. The fixture should recognize whatever level you are on and apply that as the level. As far as the "Scheduled Level" parameter, from the looks of it, it is an instance parameter so if you change one it will not change them all. Is this a family you created or found online?

The family in the image was a sink that I had gotten from the Kohler website. When I first noticed the "Schedule Level" parameter, I tried going into the family editor to remove it, but I couldn't find it. I figured perhaps this was some funky parameter setting Kohler had made and tucked away somewhere, so I decided to make my own test sink family from scratch.
I started off with the "Generic Model Face based.rft" template and made a simple rectangular extrusion. I then went to the "Family Catergory and Parameters" menu and changed my family from a Generic Model to a Plumbing Fixture. Next, I loaded the family into a test project and hosted it to a generic model, and sure enough that "Schedule Level" parameter was there. It seems like whenever I create a face-based plumbing fixture this way, that "Schedule Level" parameter is automatically added.
Attached is a copy of the sink family I had gotten from the Kohler website. Please let me know what you find when you load it into a project.
