BIM Q&A: How to Replace an Elbow Family Component

BIM Q&A | Elbow Family Replacement

The same bend family was saved under a different name before attempting to replace the original, but the replacement failed. An error appeared, likely related to insufficient positioning or spacing. However, since the two families are identical except for the name change, why can’t they be replaced? Is there anyone who can help solve this?

In the project browser, locate and delete the family that is no longer needed. Then, reload the desired family. If the new family shares the same name, simply load it to replace the existing one.
