I'm trying to edit a dining set I found and when I double click, it opens in the family editor with what looks like a section box around it, and I can't click on individual components. Is there a way to edit families that come in like this?

I think that is not a native Revit object but rather an imported CAD object. If you select it, what does the properties windows say? "Imports in Families"? and at the top of the screen, is there an "Edit Family" or an "Explode" button?
Can you share the family? Here are some helpful screenshots to help identify:
Thanks--Properties says 'Imported symbol Dining room 2dwg.' In Type properties it says System family: Import Symbol. The family is surrounded by what looks like a section box. If I right click the image/family, I have an option to do a full or partial explode. So I guess it's an imported CAD object. Is there a way to edit the various components?
Use a 3D view to export to a CAD file, edit in Acad, Rhino, or Sketchup, then import back in and delete the old one. If you can, use the DWG format and bring into Acad before you import it in. Revit understands Acad solids better than any other file format.
Revitcity is where you find these families that are *mostly* imported sketchup files. You cannot change the materials on a CAD import and it has to be a native Revit object to receive materials. Acad imported solids can be exploded to become native objects that may accept a material.
Ok, is there a site where I can go to bring in native revit based furniture?
Manufacturers' websites are a good resource. Also, Revit's own library is good to get you started. You may need to venture into the international content for a different selection of items not included with the standard "local\US" library. I know the Italian furniture is popular ... it's all online, and you access it via the "Load Autodesk Family"
Thanks so much Basam,--You've been so helpful and I can stop beating my head against the wall now--thought those screen shots were great!
