Loading families of multiple sizes at once

[dg]

I like to drag families from an Explorer window into my project, but if the family has multiple size options then how do I load all these at once. When I drag the family icon, I only get one size.

Through the load command, it's a bit tedious navigating to the directory and then highlighting all the sizes.

How can I load all family sizes at once?

I want to set up some templates, so I have quite a few families to load!

Cheers

If the family has multiple types via a type catalogue, you can load all at once by clicking the "all" button at the top of the columns. ( each column can be independently selected. )

Thanks. Its still tedious loading the families this way.

I've noticed a text file which contains the familys' dimensions - I don't suppose that this can somehow be dragged into the project from the Explorer window?

That text is the "type catalog".

It loads in all the various combinations of sizes for the family ( see image in my post above).

By selecting "all", the entire range of family types ( all the sizes ) are loaded at once.

Give it a try.
