How to Simultaneously Save a Single Family and All Families in a Revit Project

How to Save Both Individual Families and All Families in a Revit Project Simultaneously

During a project, you may need to reuse families from one project in other projects. Below are two methods for saving families from a project for use elsewhere.

Method 1:

1. Within the project, click the Application Menu and select Save As. Then choose Library, followed by Family, as shown in the image.
2. In the pop-up Save Family dialog box, select the family you wish to save. You can either save all families or select a specific family from the project and click Save, as illustrated.

Method 2:

1. In the project’s Project Browser, locate the Families category. Select a type, such as Column. Right-click on a specific family type (e.g., Rectangular Column) and choose the Save command, as shown.
2. In the pop-up Save Family dialog, choose the save location, rename the file if needed, and click Save, as demonstrated.

Note: The above steps save a single family type. To save all family types at once, right-click the Families category itself and select Save.

Summary: By following these methods, you can save families from your project as individual family files, making it easier to reuse them and streamline your modeling process.
