I have multiple families all currently set under Generic Models. I need to see if I can use Dynamo (or some alternative method) to bulk update the category for each to something like Speciality Equipment or Furniture as examples.
Thanks.

Awesome. Thank you so much.
This may be for a Revit thread, but I can see that although the Categories have updated, I still need to manually select “Edit Family” and then “Load to Project” to administer the new Category.
Any ideas?
Close the project and reopen again. did you tryed like that?
Yes I have.
what is the result?
After closing and reopening, the category changes seem to have reverted back to Generic Models. I need to rerun the Dynamo workflow to enforce the changes. But then I am in the same prediciment where I still have to manually select “Edit Family” and then load the family back into the project.
A Family of a certain Category can be transferred to another Category, but not all categories are available.
If it can’t be done in Revit, it can’t be done in Dynamo.
Did you check if you can do it in Revit?
Could you please help to get the Orchid 230. I am unable to find this.
Here is the link
I could see only 203, 206, 212, & 213 version and not 230. Not sure why.
The thread is 2+ years old. Orchid has been developed since then. The github readme tells you which installer to use for its respective dynamo build.
Hi vijay.
Can you update the change family category dyn for 2021 version Please.
Orchid 230 is not avail right now.
Thankyou.
That dyn uses Orchid, if it doesn’t work then drop the github manager a request (erfajo).
