2. Go to the Create tab's Properties panel, and click Family Category
and Parameters.
In a CAD environment,
this step would be
just like reloading a
block—you're simply
updating the
element with the new
information.
3. When the Family Category and Parameters dialog box appears, the
current category is selected. Select Specialty Equipment from the list
(Figure 6.13), and click OK.
4. Click Load into Project from the Modify tab on the ribbon to reload
the family into the project environment.
5. Select the option to override the existing version.
The family doesn't appear to have changed, but it now schedules
according to its new category.
6. To confirm the updated category move your cursor over the
family, and the tooltip should display the updated family
category.
In the following exercise you will update the origin of a family for both
plan and elevation. Then you will load the updated family back into the
project.
Alternatively you
can select the family
and take note of the
Properties palette—it
will display the family
category under the
Type Selector.
