Hi all, im try to saving familes as the gudie page shown, and also found that component “type family” has modified as this topic , but now seems not working for saving a type of family as a extermal file, any suggestion?
Is this the same error you’re seeing? I’ll have to dig into this more, not sure if something particular about that category or an error in the component.
Note that you need to get the Revit Family Element.
For now, you can maybe use this quick component below
SaveFamily.gh (7.5 KB)
thanks for reply, acctully what i want is save family file form type, see fig below:
i can made 4 types from FD1 to FD4 of “混凝土基礎”, and i wnat to save 4 family(*.rfa) by those types，maybe like: FD1_3000x1500.rfa, FD2_3500x1500.rfa, FD3_4000x2000.rfa, FD44500x2500.rfa.
i assume the “Type Family” can do that but seems the component has removed, in my case “Save Component Family” is working fine when i made a custom boject to *.rfa.
thans for reply, in my case “Save Component Family” is working fine when i made a custom boject to *.rfa, but i didnt know how to convert “type” to “family” as the component “Type Family” whitch has removed.
So hopefully I understood what you need correctly…
The below will take the picked family in your project > Get the family types > saves multiple copies in the specified file path using the type name > loads back the saved families to the project > purges the irrelevant types from the family > saves it back and overwrites the previous one.
Your output will be .rfa files names according to the type names and they will include only one type which is matching the family name.
NB. you might need to sort out the lists if you are doing multiple families at same time i guess.
Thanks for this, your right that what i need, i will try it later.
Thanks for reply again.
sorry for reply lately, its worked!!!
Thanks for help.
