Type Selector

The Type Selector identifies the currently selected family type and provides a drop-down from which you can select a different type.

Accessing the Type Selector

When a tool for placing elements is active, or elements of the same type are selected in the drawing area, the Type Selector displays at the top of the Properties palette.

To make the Type Selector available when the Properties palette is closed, right-click the Type Selector, and click Add to Quick Access Toolbar.

To make the Type Selector available on the Modify tab, right-click it on the Properties palette, and click Add to Ribbon Modify Tab. Each time you select an element, it will be reflected on the Modify tab.

Searching the Type Selector

When you click the Type Selector, a search field displays. Enter keywords in the search field to quickly find the content type that you need.
