Upgrading family in project - does it upgrade original file?

Hi everyone,

 

A quick question about upgrading families, as this is not quite clear to me.

 

If I load an old version family into a newer version Revit project, when the family is upgraded in the project, is the original file upgraded or only a loaded copy of the original file upgraded? I.e. If I save the project with the loaded and upgraded old family, does this also save the original family as the newer upgraded version? Or is it only when directly opening a family file (not loading it into a project) in a newer version which is then upgraded and saved, that the original file will be saved as the new version?

 

Some context for more clarity, I have families saved as older versions, but I want to use them in a newer version of Revit without having the original files upgraded in case I'd like to use them in an old version again. How should I do this? Is it safe simply to load them into a project without the original file being modified, or will the original files be modified when the project is saved and therefore I need to create copies before loading them into a newer version Revit project?

 

I hope this makes sense. This issue isn't clear to me from Auutodesk's explanations. Thanks for your help.

 

Regards,

Ben

Only in project unless you edit the families and save them. Regardless, you should make a copy of the family library for each version.
