Hi all,

I recently downloaded a toilet family from a manufacturer online (it works great)- however, there is a problem.

I am looking for the identity data of this family to be editable; that is, when I make a "Plumbing Fixture Schedule", I want to be able to fill in the description/manufacturer/model information myself. Instead, (despite trying to edit the family) the manufacturers information shows up automatically.

Attached are two screen shots, conveying what I'm trying to say (showi the properties I'm trying to change/can't seem to). Additionally, I attached the example family-file I am trying to alter.

Is this even possible? Or am I going to have to do some crazy method of copying the geometry/making a new family/process that really isn't worth the time. ANY suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks-

Thank you!

I was changing the values & not the formula!

Thus was my problem.

Additionally, I was not adding" - " on every formula entry
