Visibilty/Graphic Overrides for Familys

[Anonymous]

Why isn't there an extra tab for een override for Family's? Whe have to make filters to switch them off, and if there is an extra tab whe can switch them off more easily.

Select a family, right click and pick Select all instances in view, the Override, or Hide. Same result.

Revit Ideas seems to be a better place for that.

Another way you might find useful is to look in the Project Browser. Expand the Families hierarchy, expand a category, right click on a specific family type, and choose "Select all instances..." from the contextual menu. Then you can override them all by-element.

Although it does kind of make sense to imagine - not another tab necessarily - but instead that the categories be expandable to list loaded families underneath them in a hierarchy, and that the families be further expandable to list the used types underneath them.

In this way we could just drill down to create more specific overrides than just complete categories. It's an interesting idea.

You understand me! I hope this solution will be in a next generation of Revit.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Um...yes...so do I.

Another method, of course, is to make a view filter that picks up the families you wish to override, apply that view filter to your view, and set up the desired overrides using it.
