"Can't make type "Andersen_Csmt_Dbl_CR25_CW255_1679[1] : CW25"."

 Keep getting this message everytime I try to insert the Andersen windows that I just downloaded.

I thought it had something to do with the head the element properties dialog box and the defines origin check box but, that didn't help.  I tried inserting the windows in plan view and also from a 3D view to ensure that the wall was tall enough.  I didn't check all the windows, I downloaded a lot.  I tried six of them and I get the same error message.

 thanks for any suggestions

Randy

I haven't had much luck with those Anderson window families either.  2009 didn't solve the problem.  I reverted to simpler window families that I found here and use drafting views to include the detail that the sections need.

 

if anyone else knows a way to fix them, I'd love to hear it too.

KIND OF NEW TO ALL OF THIS.

 

IS THERE A WAY TO UPLOAD THE WINDOW(S) IF I CAN'T INSERT IT INTO A WALL? 

AMONG OTHERS, I WAS TRYING TO INSERT A CW25 UNIT THAT WAS AVAILABLE ON REVIT CITY.

Hi RQUIST, i don't try to KEEP with "YOUR" window if that's what do you imagine, i just don't have time to Search to those windows, i guess i have here all of them but ok!!! good luck

By the way, "THERE A WAY TO UPLOAD THE WINDOW(S) IF I CAN'T INSERT IT INTO A WALL?" - awnser=YES, in the "File Attachments" you can put images or .RFA elements or what do you want....

Hi Typhoon:

Thanks for the video. Finally got a chance to look at it.

How can I open the suspect window drawing file, in order to follow along with the tutorial?

I'm not sure how to access the window for editing if I can't insert it into a drawing.

This is probably basic but only recently have I been able to make a full-time job of working with Revit. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to it.

I am having this same problem.  I have used these Andersen Windows for years and now just updated to 2011.  I can't get them to work.  I even downloaded a new file and fixed the orgin and still can't place them.  How did you figure it out?  Help!
