Add a Family

As an administrator or author, add a family element to a project to add required content and family-level properties to your project specifications.

When you add a family, multiple rules apply and Specpoint automatically makes adjustments to related project elements.

For more information, see Addition of Project Elements.

To add a family to the active project:

1. Open a project in the project workspace.
2. In the project workspace, in the Categories pane, select a project category.
3. In the Project Elements pane, filter the list of UniFormat elements to use UniFormat for your project.
   You can also search for a family.
4. Select an unadded family.
   An unadded family displays in black or dark blue.
5. In the element header, click Add to Project.
   In the Project Elements pane, the family displays in green to indicate its active state in the project. On the element form, the family's content items are now available for modification.

For a family with an available office master, you can switch between versions of the family.
