Set Location Problem with created FamilyInstance of type "Detail Component"

Hi there,
I´m running into a problem again. It is my goal to create custom detail components using these as “custom lines”.

I created a family which can draw this custom line with the “detail component”:
Picture%203

My Family looks like this:
Picture%204

I can use it and draw and via “flexible” array component it creates lines with the same spacing.

It is my goal to use these as additional markers for walls.

When I start dynamo and select an already created detail component it seems to work fine and I can change the object location via Element.Location.

When I use FamilyInstance by point another instance of this family is created, but it has no location line etc…

I use the same input and same options (line instead of point) and it seems to work fine for the one which was already created and therefore has values.

Does anyone have an idea what I could possibly do wrong?

Thanks and kind regards,
Jannis
