Changing Family Configurations

I'm a little confused with a window family I downloaded recently.

 

I downloaded it from https://www.nationalbimlibrary.com and I've included it as an attachment.

 

With every other family I've come across in Revit beit door, window or whatever, I've used the Properties Window to change the coniguration to wider or taller and the model has updated accordingly.

 

This particular sash window doesn't do this.  There are three configurations W4, W5 and W6 and changing between them in the properties window does nothing to the model:

But, if I edit the family, I can see that there are three configurations present:

What am I doing wrong?  Why can I not change between W4, W5 and W6 in the model and have it update like all other families.

 

What have I missed?

 

Thanks

It's not built properly.  It's fixable, but why bother. Download one that's ready to use. There is a plethera of other Double/Single Hung Revit Windows on-line. Go to Marvin or Pella and download their Revit Content.

Another important point to make: many families that you download also come with a Type Catalog Text File. It's important that you download this file as well.  For more information about Type Catalogs, drill down into this link:

May all types has the same value in parameters check this in the family editor from your family

Thanks for this.

 

It appears the dimensions are broken as well as the visibility of the W4, W5 and W6 types...

 

I took a look through the links regarding the family types and according to the family type editor W4, W5 and W6 look like they are selected to show in their respectives types yet do not for some reason.

 

Seems a lot of the downloads I am getting do not contain the type libraries just the rfa files...

 

I'm giving up on this now as I cannot get it to work and have been looking at the other manufacturers you suggested but no one seems to have the style I need so will continue to search.
