Hi there,
Firstly, Happy New Year!
Secondly, I have a query that I hope someone can shed some light on.
The company I work for is rolling out Revit over the forthcoming months. We do lots of small modular projects and subsequently do lots (10 -15) of projects a week.
We were recently debating 2d v 3d famililies and whether we could use 2d furniture families for the majority of our jobs, as we envisage doing internal 3d's for say, just 10% of our projects.
My question is, if we were to use 2d families for speed, is there a function for us to be able to quickly replace a 2d component with a 3d version?
Many thanks,
|

If both families are in the same category, have the same parameters, have the same insertion characteristics (orientation / ref planes) and are hosted the same, then you can simply swap all of the families. Your process.
- Family A (2d in the project).
- Open Family B (3d in the family browser)
- In the project - rename Family A to "Family B"
- Switch to the family editor and pick load into project.
- When asked- overwrite Family B in the project.
