Is there documentation for instance sub-classing, for family objects?

Thank you.

The question doesn't seem to make sense. Instance sub-classing applies to instances. It doesn't apply to object types or families.

I meant family instances.

It seems to be that sub-classing a family instance results in undefined when calling its sub-class methods.

However, non-family instances can have their sub-class methods called.

I asked so that I can know if there are any special cases for Families.

There's no such thing as family instances in the engine. Instances always belong to a specific object type. Families are groups of object types.

Ah, I see. I think I got it.

I have to SetInstance() the actual object rather than the family in which the object belongs to.

Thank you.
