Load Library of Custom Families

[AGGilliam]

Is there a way to load an entire library of custom families? I've done a thorough search and can't seem to find anything. If not, have any of you done something like this through the api?

Our library of custom families is steadily growing and it would be nice to be able to load the whole folder into our template (rather than each individual family) whenever we make changes, but I'm not sure where to begin.

It's possible to load one family with the API so it is possible to load many families with the API.

Were you looking for a method that takes a folder location as an argument, if so then no that doesn't exist (no Document.LoadFamily overload for that).

I was hoping there might be a method or some built-in function, but I suppose I'll just have to load one at a time within some sort of loop. Thank you!
