Every Revit family is assigned a specific category; based on the Revit Family Template that was originally used to create the Revit family.
The Power of a Revit Family's Category Designation;
- controls the family's visibility in each view; using the View Visibility (VV) Settings.
- defines the Revit Tag that can be used for tagging the family
- determines the Revit Schedule Type that will list & schedule the Revit family
When your Revit family...
- doesn't respond to turning on/off its visibility in the view...
- can't be tagged with it's appropriate category tag...
- doesn't show up in its designated Revit Schedule...
You need to review and revise that family's Category Designation.
