Is it iconoclastic to say that fully exploding CAD drawings inside families, changing selected element types to builtin types (e.g. lines to "Detail Items") and then copying them (an only them) to a new default family doesn't cause the common issue of cluttering types that often come with imported CAD drawings when that family then gets imported into a revit project?
It's okay to explode - in a Family. Just keep an eye on the debris field. That is, exploding will likely introduce new stuff, such as Linestypes, etc. I definitely wouldn't explode in a working Project. Also, your workflow is a good one. Sounds like you are exploding CAD, cleaning it up as the case may be and Clipboard Copy/Pasting it to virgin Family. Did I get that right?
Yes, that's all correct.
I wish there was a way Revit told you what was imported with the family (all line styles, patters etc.) I was trying to list them from a script, but I can't tell if anything is missing.
On a complete side note, you wouldn't know how to OpenAndActivate a family template by any chance?
I don't know what it means to "Open and Activate a Family Template". I know how to modify an RFT. Find the RFT file and change the extension to RFA and then Open it with Revit. Add/Remove content, Save and Close RFA. Then change the extension back to RFT. Now you can use it as a Template for New RFAs.
No worries, I've tried these approaches, but they didn't work or were really slow.
