Convert ceiling based family to face based

I have searched, and I don't think that anyone has asked this question yet. I was wondering if there was a way to convert a ceiling based family, like an air terminal, to a face based familt for use with a linked model. I don't have the desire to re-create the exact same family just to make it face based.

Thank you in advance,

Drew

My understanding is No. They start from different family templates.

You would think this would be a toggle, wouldn't you?

Unfortunately not. There is no way to simply switch a ceiling hosted family to a face-based one.

The best you can do is attempt to copy out what geometry you can through the clipboard and redefine the relationships you lose. Sometimes it's simply easier to start over.

Sorry to be the bearer of such frustrating news.
