Change category of FamilyInstance

[gena.bayanov]

Hello!

Is it possible to programmatically change the category of FamilyInstace?

[jeremytammik]

No, I believe that is fixed by the family and connot be changed in the individual instance.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Thanks you for answer.

But I mean, is it possible to programmatically repeat the same actions as the user interface: Select object, click Edit in-place, click Family categories and parameters and select different category?

Yes, sure. Please note that you cannot manipulate in-place familes programmatically at all. If it is a standard family, however, you can use the Document.EditFamily method to open the family document for modification, and then reload it into the project again when you are done.

Cheers,

Jeremy
