Hey, I’m not sure if i understand the problem correct but a problem i’ve had is that the wrong family instance is placed. I fixed it by placing a placeholder detail item and then changing it. Let me know if this fixed your problem Package used - Clockworks ![ScreenShot](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/7/8/78c41b2faedde58c3f9f0f833c4b4846a1d91fc9.png) Edit: Grammar ---
