I never knew about the alternate way to create Family Table region so thanks for showing.  Not sure yet if I am going to use it but will keep in mind next time run into a FT problem and see if gives more latitude.  WOuld also help if there was an example of what can be done using the 2nd method and why it offers more flexibility.

Hello @LawrenceS ,

This video is embedded in the following article CS102357, which discusses the benefits of using this technique in place of 2D repeat regions for family tables, such as being able to use relations on the regions.

If further assistance is needed, please feel free to contact our Technical Support team.

What if I only want to show the name and one or two of the several family columns?

AMAZING VIDEO!!! everyone at my job used the second method of family tables but no one could explain why or how it worked, they always just copy pasted and hoped for the best.

Thank you so much for this helpful video.
Is there a way to sort the entire table as well—like in your example, for instance by the hex_size?
