How to change Family ID Picture shown on Properties?

[Anonymous]

Hey!

How would I change the picture shown in Properties dialog (on Revit Project) for a family I created? 

Could this problem be due to the Center Reference Plane is located in the middle of the object when I created it?

Cheers

Hi,

Check out this blog from one of my colleagues

It works on the thumbnail in the File Explorer, not the thumbnail in Properties.

You actually need to flip all the geometry in the Family 180 degrees to get it to show up in the Project Type Selector Preview that way.  

...yes, it's stupid.

Hey Alan,

Thank you for your help. I followed the steps as your link does but it only worked to the thumbnail in the File Explorer, not in Revit Properties.

Your suggestion dose work, and it is stupid.

How can do we ask Auto desk to change that?

REVIT Thumbnail in Properties will have to read to the front view of the family automatically instead of the back view.
