Hi all, I am looking for some solution for creating family type duplicate in background opened Family Document. I found this topic [Create New Family Types in Family Document while in Project Environment](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/create-new-family-types-in-family-document-while-in-project-environment/16465) There is a workable piece of Python code in this topic, but it uses FamilyManager.NewType which creates new type (which by default seems to be duplicate of the first type). But in my case I need to create duplicate of specific types (or specifically of all family types, not only the first one), so later I could edit the new types and edit some parameters in them Is there are any ways to make a duplicate of specific type in fam document? ---

Hi @hvacker how about just create some new types and copy these parameter values, formula etc to the new types, if i understand right 😉 ![Skærmbillede 2024-01-06 085857](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/8/082b0b4b7c8f5cca8f9cb67c99c0092d4b4ac826.png)
