    Assigning Material Causes Family to Break

    I've run into this before and don't recall ever seeing a fix:
    I have a family for a cast-stone window head, and if I try to assign a parameter to the geometry in the family editor, then reload the family it causes a bunch of errors that result in the family being deleted. Has anyone run into this, and is there a fix?

    Could it the existing instance in the project has properties set that break or somehow conflict with the newly loading one?

      I opened the file to assign a material from the project...

      Rebuilding the geometry in question seems to have solved the problem, but I still have no idea why it would happen in the first place.

        Ive seen some issues (back in 2016, supposedly resolved before 2017), where Families dont properly regenerate when Types are changed. This means that (sometimes) reloading a family with a change that seemingly shouldnt affect anything (like moving a dimension, but not changing the dimensions value) in the family cause the component to break when its reloaded.

        HOPEFULLY its not related, since that bug was supposedly fixed 18 months ago...

          I've seen this issue a few times in the past. I can at least kind of understand why moving a dimension would affect things, but setting a material shouldn't break anything... :banghead:

            No, sliding a dimension to the side. Not editing the witness lines or the elements a dimension is touching at all.

            Should have no effect whatsoever.
