I am using REVIT 2014 Building Design Suite Premium. Under the STRUCTURE tab and in the MODEL tab I am endeavorign to upload into my drawing standard dimensional lumber shapes from the RVT 2014 folder under Structural Framing. When I do I get the followign error msg....Some of all of the family files you selected cannot be loaded. You must choose family files of the catgory component. Do you want to retry loading a new set of files?......

I assume when one loads a component it is a revit family or .RFA.....There is somethign I am doing wrong here and I cannot figure it out. I am usign the same procedue I have been doing on prior REVIT verisons with no problem....

Thanks in advance!

If you are getting that error it is because you are trying to load a family that is not the correct category.   Go to the insert tab>Load Families and try doing it from there and see if you still get the same error.
