    How to load “title blocks” of rft type?

     

    Sounds that the command load doesn’t take the rft files! How to add these files then?

    .rft files are "Family Templates" which are used for creating new Families of a particular Category.

     

    .rfa files--"Families" are loaded into your Project ( .rvt ).

     

    So your Titleblock should be a .rfa file--Family.

    Thank you for the answer Collins.

     

    Then how can I insert the rft files to the project?

    I respectfully recommend you to do some research on your own. Most of the questions you are asking are topics of the very first two classes of any Revit course, or at least, topics that you can find easily in the Help articles of the program. A forum is not a replacement for basic training.
