family files not available after installation of revit 2017

When I try to load families, I get the following message: "some or all of the family files you selected cannot be loaded. You must choose family files of the category Component". I do not understand what that means. I tried to interpret by playing around with the way I downloaded the components, but kept getting the same message.

First of all, check your Project Browser. The family will be visible there. If not, go to INSERT>>LOAD FAMILY. That will load anything. Once you have loaded it and located it in the browser, drag the family into your model and place it.

I see the default components, but I have always been able to find casework, etc from a family library

Architecture>>Components will always look for component families. Insert>>Load Families (and you will be able to bring them in form your library) will allow you greater freedom.

Try again.

 

I just loaded and placed a structural column in an architectural project this way without any errors. This is something that I do many many times a day, because it is more time efficient than going with Architecture>>Component.

 

Make sure that you are out of any command.

 

Insert>>Load family

 

Find the family that you want to load.

 

Then - look towards the bottom of your Project Browser. Under Families you should find the family you just loaded. If you see a + sign by the family name, then you will need to expand it to see the types. Drag the type you need in to your Project.
