Copy Filled Regions from Project Template to Family template

[JasonLLINDNER]

Hi 

I have a new challenge to finish for next week and it is to transfer the Filled Region Types from our Project template to our Detail Items and Annotation Family template. I tried to copy past them and to transfer them from project standards but that did not work. 

I checked this post Cannot copy filled regions from project to family? - Autodesk Community - Revit Products but that and whatever everyone is suggesting there does not help.

We have 624 types and it will be a nightmare if I have to create all one by one

1. You can transfer standards Fill patterns from a project to a Family
2. To bring actual filled region types from a project to a detail component family:  (a) create a bunch of filled regions in a drafting view in the project and (b) copy paste them to the Detail component family.
3. To bring actual filled region types from a project to an annotation family: (a) same as above, (b) copy paste them onto a sheet in the project, (c) copy the ones on sheet and paste them to the Annotation family.

Not that I did not try plus I do not want to create 630 regions to copy

Check the selection filter. .you are copying more than just filled regions. Filled regions should copy paste normally.

Edit: And you have no other option besides that or Dynamo (extract them from project to a list in excel the recreate types in family using excel list)

Thx that was it. there was one tag not showing over a solid black fill. This fixes copy but I still do not want to create 630 regions to copy  I will try with the dynamo option see were it gets me to. If I fail you will maybe find me back here on monday

Hey DR

jus here to say thanks I took your advise did some research and picked parts and pieces of scripts from the dynamo forum . the final script worked but it created some extra duplicate regions which get appended with a (1) at the end but i am not complaining. 35 extra duplicates is better than me creating all the regions to copy paste them
