Help with issues encountered when upgrading Revit models.This guide is setup to help with issues encountered that block the upgrading of Revit models/ families .Review the following help topics relevant to the versions you are upgrading to see changes that may impact the upgrade and upgraded project:

The 3 kinds of families in Revit are: system families , loadable families , and in-place families .

Unlike system families , loadable families are created in external RFA files and imported (loaded) in your projects.

To scale a family in the Family Editor, you can create and use a parameter that adjusts its size.

To manage families and family types, use the shortcut menu in the Project Browser.

System families contain family types that you use to create basic building elements such as walls, floors, ceilings, and stairs in your building models.

These variations within the family are called family types or types.

Use the Family Editor to modify existing elements or create new ones to meet the specific needs of a project.

Within a project or family , you can edit a loaded family and reload it into the same project or any other open projects or families .

This is a function of how the families are created and upgraded families might contain them.

You can delete unused families or unused family types from your projects and templates using either of 2 methods: you can select and delete the families and types in the Project Browser as detailed in the procedure below, or you can run the Purge Unused tool.

Associate parameters from a host family to a nested family to control geometry in the nested family .

Click Insert tabLoad from Library panel (Load Family ). In the Load Family dialog, navigate to the folder where you saved the family files for the exercise.

When you load families into a project, the Revit family library is accessed by default.
