Hello everyone, I’m trying to place hosted family instance by using node FamilyInstance.ByFace. The node works well except one problem. When I place it manually, its elevation is same as the ceiling but when I place it by Dynamo, the elevation is 0 (please take a look at screenshots below). Have anyone know the reason why and how to fix it? Your advices will be very helpful to me. Thank you.
@Luffy11 ,
The hosting on on a linked face is not recommended. By updateing the link, elements could get lost. As a model-rule i would implement a Reference-Plane or a Level, in your case a Level for ceiling-components.

@Luffy11, the Dynamo placed family is reporting an Elevation of 0.0 because it has no level to reference. Try setting the Schedule Level parameter to Level 1 for all placed instances. This can be appended to your script or done manually within the element’s instance parameters.
@Draxl_Andreas Thank you for replying me. Actually I’ve tried doing it in the first place but I have this issue. Although I’ve set their elevation to 2400mm, the height of family instances are still 0 after running the script and I don’t know how to flip them neither. That’s why I host them on a linked face. Please help me if you have any advices.
