So in short, the disadvantage of copying and pasting from the typicals is that you quickly start copying lots of (unneeded?) families and that they are pinned and locked.īetter only load families that you will actually need. Further HM tends to lock and pin a lot of items together (something I normally do not do). Some people experience slowdowns when lots of things are locked and pinned in a project. However most of the items are gouped so you tend to start copying several/many families which start to add up in your project. When you copy and paste from such a typical project it is possible. Or you press 'edit', the family gets opened in the family editor and you can choose 'load into project' (this assumes your project is already open).

When you choose save you can place that family somewhere on you computer and load it from there in your project. Then you have two options to proceed 'save' or 'edit'. Most of the HM families can be found in the 'Furniture Systems' category. In the project browser, in the 'Families' section, you will find all the families used in the project. However you can still use the items from the typicals. So maybe you better dowload from this section.

In here you find the single families (chairs, desks etc). They also have a section named product category. In the typicals, correct.these are rvt project files, they have assembled different products together to show off a.typical. Probably you have downloaded the typicals from HM.
