Model Text is a Generic Model but a Window

Hello.

 

So this came up in a Revit file yesterday:

85a1dff9-6357-4556-a9ef-1481551f1fbe.png

It is not an issue in it's self as I can just redo these/change the family from dropdown (there are 2 and both are window families 😁), but if there are more similar things hiding it will make a dent into the data quality. Luckily as it is still a Generic Model like Model Text it doesn't hop into the Window Schedule.

I'll try to keep an eye out and figure out what caused this. Has anyone else bumped into this kind of an error where something that is supposed to be something identifies as something else on it's own? 😁

Things I tested first:

Rehosting the Model Text

Copy/Pasting to same place

Changing the Work Plane

 

This model did go to Autodesk to get a fix to the Schema Conflict issue, so this might relate to that.

 

Added screenshots from RevitLookup as attachment.

Nothing special about the window family that I've seen.

So what is the issue? The window family is showing fine to me in project.

Are you just saying you have a generic model - model text family and it is showing the window thumbnail?

I think it was just this bug in the end as everything seemed to be fine in the central and family file. So it showed the thumbnail and the info of the window family for some reason, but all the rest was from the model text component.
Still would like to know how it happened but maybe it was the repair?
