Element Template with More than One Active Cell

So I went through the process. An Element Template with its Active Cell property set to a Cell that is made up of 3 Cells does not pull in the info to display. It was a good idea, but doesn't work.

Christopher, no, I wasn't saying to do anything, I was just attempting to explain to JPLN what you wanted ...the way that I understood it.

Are you saying to make a "Stop Sign" cell that contains the sign cell and the pole cell and then make a "Stop Sign All Way" cell that contains the sign cell, the all way cell, and the pole cell ... and then have the Element Template reference those combo-cells? Does that work?

I'll give it a shot and report back I guess.

I think his idea is that if he had 3 cells, he could use a number of different combinations of display at the Element Template level to produce different graphics. He could display cell #1, or cell #2, or cell #3, or cells 1 & 2, or cells 1 & 3, or cells 2 & 3, or cells 1 and 2 and 3, or ... and create numerous different displays with a smaller number of actual cells. Savvy?

What is the reason to not create one cell made of 3 cells ?

Hopefully this makes it more clear. In this screenshot I have one Active Cell as the sign, and one Active Cell as the Pole, but it only displays first Active Cell when placed.
