How to unify repeated items?

I imported from Revit a cladding wall with three families, each one placed several times.
I need to create flanges and a flat pattern in them, How can I unify the identical ones to do it only once for each type?

Hi! Please share the ipt file here. There should be a workflow to do that. But without seeing the actual model, it is impossible to identify the good workflow.

Many thanks!

I can't remember if importing from Revit supports instancing or not, you might have to do the work on one and then reuse the same Inventor part manually.

Hi! Many thanks for sharing the ipt file! It is a simple Sheet Metal part with 4 flanges. I guess you were wondering how to create a family of parts (Configurations). If you want to make each variation a separate ipt file, you may leverage iPart or iLogic workflow. If you want all variations stored in one ipt file, you may use Model States. Please let us know if more information is needed.

Thanks again!
