Modifying a Family Type

You can access the properties of a family type in the Project Browser or from an element that uses that type in a current project.

To modify a family type

1. Do one of the following:
   • In the Project Browser, under Families, right-click the family type, and click Properties.
   • Select an element in the project, and on the Properties palette, click Edit Type.
2. In the Type Properties dialog:
   • Change parameter values as desired.

     The parameters that display vary depending on the family type that you are modifying.

   • If desired, in the upper-right corner, click Rename, and enter a new name.
3. Click OK to exit.

If you are modifying a family type in a project, any instances of elements with the same family type in the project update to reflect your modifications.
