@Anonymous hello, i replicate what you did and it works fine. just open your bathtub family in your current version of Revit 2017 and save before you load into your project. thanks

When you saved the bathtub and opened it, did you notice that a SECOND INSTANCE OF REVIT opened up? So you've got a project open in one instance of Revit, and a family open in another instance of Revit. So when you ask the bathtub to Load into the Project, that instance of Revit doesn't HAVE a project opened.

 

1. Save the bathtub family somewhere.

2. Close the bathtub family.

3. Close that instance of Revit.

4. Get back into the other instance of Revit with the project opened.

5. Click the System > Plumbing & Piping > Plumbing Fixture tool.

6a. If you aren't prompted to load a family at this point, click Modify > Mode > Load Family.

6b. If you ARE prompted to load a family, click Yes.

7. Navigate to the bathtub family you saved earlier, select it, and click Open.

8. Now place it in your project.
