Expand the error message and get an ID number.  Then search for that ID.

This element must be within your family and is numbered when it comes in.  You will not find it. 

You need to look at this family and see what parameters are set when loaded.  Some things look fine in the family but will never work in the project.  This can be true for hosted objects because the host might be so different.  That would be the first place to look.  For instance if your project wall is only 4" thick and in your door family, the host is 8".  In this example, change this host to 4" and see what happens.

Without knowing more about the family and use, I can't help much more.

Did you try to audit the file before opening?
