I have created several cabinets as families with individual family types. For example, I have a standard 1 Drawer/1 Door cabinet. The Famiily types would be the width of that cabinet. Anyways, when I load the family into a project, I can see the family types and place them where I want and they are the correct size. However, if I select one of those cabinets I just placed then try and change the type to a wider cabinet in place, it does not change or update. It changes the type but not the size.
Can you upload a family (Make sure to say what version) so we can check?

What happens when you change the types while working in the Family Editor? Did you assign different width values to each type. When you type a name for a type it doesn't actually correspond to the parameters the geometry relies on. It's just a nice name. We still need to make sure each type has the correct values.
If that isn't the issue then does width actually change the geometry in the family when you type in a new value and click Apply?
It sounds like a couple dots haven't been connected yet.

When I change the types in the family editor it works fine. I click apply and it adjusts. Just not in the project. The Name is just a nice name, but the parameters are set with the widths.
You've created Instance parameters which means the values you've assigned are the default values that are used when you place it in the project, but they are unique values for each and every cabinet. Changing the Type won't affect the instance values, only Type Parameters behave that way. Simple fix, just change your parameters in the family to be Type, not Instance.
