Hi,
Is there a way to quickly find or locate a family in the project browser.
I have a grid family named "Grid:1/4" Bubble" but I wasn't able to manually locate it in the project browser, which prompted this inquiry.

Thanks in advance

I was hoping of something like Right Click > select " locate in browser" or sorts.
Thanks

I've found myself looking for that function too (so to speak, the inverse of right-click object in project browser - select all instances). Besides I've posted a wishlist item for a text search function in the project browser. These could be great time savers when the content of the project browser becomes extensive.

I would rather have a function where I can click on a family in the project browser, and it will tell me where and/or what views contain instances of that family.

I think life with Revit would be a little easier if both ways were possible....I think.
Thanks

Yes but can't you already do that with a schedule??
