From family hosted to non-hosted
I have downloaded a family and it is floor based.
Can I change it to a non-hosted one? Is it possible or do I have to create a new one?
Thank you very much

… hi @Anonymous
… of course you can
… open a new generic non-hosted one
…open the hosted one and
… you can copy CRTL + C all the elements from the face based families (geometry, reference planes, parametric dimensions) , check everything
… and paste CTRL+V on the new non-hosted family.
… you can re-constrain it
… need to create / apply some new parameters
… or change / adapt it to the new configuration
… re-name it
.. done

If the family is simple you can copy paste to a non host family.
If the family is complex with lots of parameters and constraints, you can do:
- place the family F1 on a floor in file A
- link file A to file B
- copy monitor the family F1 from the link and it will be come a face based family F2
- edit F2, select the solid host and change the thickness to 0 and let it gets deleted
- now F2 is non hosted
Sounds like similar answers but it is ok
Now I know that it's possible
Thank you
1. If it's hosted on Wall/Ceiling/Floor/Roof etc
Here is a Screencast of technique I'm using to convert face hosted family to unhosted-
