Hi,

In the beginning stage of project, we are added generic furniture for client approval. Now after approval, we need to change the family generic type to actual brochure type.

Please find the action list.

Stage 1:- In the beginning design as per brochure, we are putting instance comments in each generic family as below.

List below for reference

You can’t change the type in the way you’re attempting. Use a FamilyInstance.SetType node in the clockwork package to achieve what you’re after.
