    Cannot Load Family Files

    I am not sure if I have done something wrong or what, but I am trying to load a Sidelight from the imperial library that came with Revit 2011 and I get a message stating the following.

    " Some or all of the family files you selected cannot be loaded. You mush choose family files or the category Doors. Do you wnat to retry loading a new set of files?"

     

    "Revit cannot load the following files: Sidelights 1.rfa"

     

    Any suggestions?

    Try dragging the file in Explorer into revit, it worked for me.

    I figured that out 20 minutes after i posted, but dragging removes the requirement that you have the correct tool selected.
