    Default Need to change family category

    This is a family I downloaded from RevitCity. I would like to change its "category" classification from "generic" to "structural foundations". I have read all the threads I can find on this subject - seems straight forward - but I can't seem to get the "category" to change. No problem creating my own family - just want to understand why I can't get this to work.

    Thanks in advance.

    When I load into my drawing it is in the Structural Foundation browser.

    Mike:

    When I try to control its visibility as a "structural foundation" it does not shut off still thinks it is a "generic model".

    Unless I'm missing something it seems to work for me!

    Seems to be working properly on my end too...

    You should be able to verify by opening up the family itself, then settings, Family catagories and Parameters - Verify that Structural Foundation is selected.

    Maybe reload in your project again...
