Load the Current Family into a Project

After working in the Family Editor to create or modify a family, you can load the family into one or more open projects.

Note: The projects into which you want to load the family must be open.
  1. In the Family Editor, click Create tabFamily Editor panel (Load into Project). The family will remain open.

    If only one project is currently open, the family is loaded into that project, and the project displays in the drawing area.

    Optionally, you can click Create tab Family Editor panel (Load into Project and Close). You will be prompted to save the family which will close after it loads into the selected project.
    Note: The Load into Project and Close tool is currently available only to students and to Autodesk Maintenance and Desktop Subscription customers for the Revit 2015 R2 release of the software.

    In either case, if only one project is currently open, the family is loaded into that project.

  2. If multiple projects are open, the Load into Projects dialog displays. Select the open projects to receive the family, and click OK.
