Access Nested Families In Type Editor

Access Nested Families In Type Editor

If I go in the type editor to edit my railings, I will find dozens of loaded families, but I then have to exit the type editor, go to project browser and find the family, right click it and edit the type. Ithen have to go back to the type editor, scroll through menus and find my new family. WHY? 

 

Let me open the family from the type editor.  Close my family, and find myself in the type editor.

And so on....

 

When dealing with dozens of families all day, this is a spectacular waste of time and thought.  Revit's entire logic is based upon accessing nested families. Get it right Autodesk
