Mullion columns issues

The issue with the mullion columns appears that it is only showing one family, but when I clicked on the mullion I am not able to edit the type of family or to duplicate the type of family. What I want to do is to be able to have one set type of mullions so that the material only applies to those mullions and then for my windows I want it to be another type. I do not want the mullions to be the same as all of them.

Unpin the Mullions, select one (or more) and replace with another one shown in the Preview Selector.

- Do it from model: Select a mullion > Unpin > right click > Edit type > duplicate to create a new type.

- Do it from project browser (recommended): just select a mullion type > right click > edit type > duplicate to create a new type.

@barthbradley It appears that in properties that the selection is grayed out after creating the new family the name is Wood Frame which is shown here. What could I do to fix this?
