Select a Family

Select a family element in the Project Elements pane to load its properties onto the element form of the project workspace for viewing and modification (if the family is currently in the project).

This selection enables you to perform actions with the family such as adding it to or removing it from the project.

To select a family:

  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 the lowest-level assembly for your desired element tree path.
    The following assembly levels are available:
    • Assembly: Assembly Group
      • Assembly: Subassembly Group
        • Assembly: Subassembly Type

    For some element tree paths, a subassembly type is not available. Thus, the lowest-level assembly, which holds the families, is the subassembly group on the second level.

  5. Under the subassembly, select a family element.
    You expanded the family and displayed its child product types.
