HI Ning,
As far as I know there is no straightforward way to convert face based family to non-host family.
The workaround could be creating new family using nonn-face host family template, then copy the solid/form to the new family, and also copy the types, parameters and dimensions via API.
Hi Ning,
I think you can copy the extrusions, dimensions...objects derived from Element class.
and add new types, add parameters from the existing family.
I didn't try to copy a real family. It worths a try.
Hi Ning,
I don't have handy code right now. Sorry for this.
"copy everything at once via API from existing hosted family to new non-hosted one" - This would be extremely handy, any updates? Dale
