Are the icons that show up when you hover over a type in the pull down menu customizable? i want to put in a section of the wall rather than the plan view. the plan view gives you pretty much zero information and would like to either have the section of the actual wall or i would even be fine with a dummy image that i would create. see attached. cheers. j.

anyone know where this image comes from?.. it seems odd that in the windows explorer thumbnail it looks at the front and in the component pull down menu it looks at the back? how can i switch the component pull down image to match the explorer thumbnail image?

When you save a family, in the save GUI, you can select what view to use for the directory icon but I believe the family view is the last view the file was saved from. Please let us know if you check this out.

I looked at the file save options and have it set the way i want...3d View... save the family and load into a brand new project for the first time and it is always coming in as backwards... don't get it.

I have always thought that Revit was a little screwey with it's Front/Back settings. I always think that the bottom of a plan is the front and that is the way your object is modeled. If you flip the object and put the "front" of the object up, the icon's can match because it appears that Revit creates an icon from that side no matter how it is set in the family.

thanks.. that is what i kind of gathered.. i have a lot of families that are built this way and was just trying to avoid running through mirroring all of them and redoing all the dimension links..ugh.. wish i would have noticed this before creating all of these. thanks for the info.
