    How to access System families in a template file

    Could anyone please give me some pointers on how I go about accessing all of the system families in a template file?

     

    I haven't found anything in the SDK samples as yet and Googling has turned up nothing helpful.

     

    What I'd like to do is read through a template file extracting information about all of the system families in that template and then add parameters and values to them.

    I can't see anything obvious when looking at the document properties and the FamilyManager is not available. I was expecting some kind of collection as a property of the template document but can't see anything.

     

    Also, are parameters added to system families in the same way as loadable familes? (I'm guessing not).

    I can add parameters to Standard families (using the SDK sample).

     

    I'm very new to Revit programming so any help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks
