Hi

I know there is possible to create subcategories. But problem is that I cannot use those when doing different kind of drop down list inside family. For example, I create door family which having possible to choose different kind of threshold, door panel, handle/knob. If I using eg. generic model for every one of those, knobs/handles and door panel appears on threshold selector, threshold, knobs/handles appears on door panel selector and so on.

So far I have managed to do this to modelling eg. door handle/knob to Generic Model- category, threshold to Specialty Equipments- category and door panel to Door- category and using Family Type- parameter to make drop down list for them.

It should be rather possible to use subcategories to make drop down lists or possible to make own custom main categories. 

Nowadays more and more manufacturers wants their products as Revit- content, problem is limited possibility to use categories and/or subcategories.

Door is good example, it contains frames, door panel, threshold, knobs/handles, hinges... so why I should not to use right categories to create door, like Door Panel, Frames, Threshold, Handles, not like now, using Generic Models, Specialty Equipment, Furniture and so on to create different nested families that drop down lists keeps clean on main family.
