Why am I getting this type name and URL in my family?


This occurs when an IGS created family has been created to use a Type Catalog, but that Type Catalog has not been loaded correctly.


To insert types from the type catalog:

  1. In a Revit project or template, click Insert tabLoad From Library panel (Load Family).
  2. Navigate to the directory containing the family you want to open.
  3. Select the family (RFA file) to load.
  4. The Type Catalog Dialog displays.
  5. Select the types to be inserted.
  6. Select OK.


If you have not been supplied the Type Catalog .txt file with the Revit family, please contact us or the manufacturer to send it through.
