Place a non-hosted family onto ceiling.

December 8, 2016, 07:50 AM

Hello All,

How do you place a non-hosted family onto a ceiling?

The family in question is a heat sensor with sounder from a manufacturer. I was hoping to update all the generic sounder models that are hosted to a ceiling with this new family but an error message popped up and wouldnt host.

I have switched on the work plane base option and turned off always vertical but it will only host vertically.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Have you tried inserting it in the 3D view rather than the elevations/floor plans? I find work plane based models insert more reliably in the 3D view
