Reload Multiple Families

Packages
1

The families already exist in the project, I want to reload them with new versions.

I can select multiple families through the Revit Load Family command, but Revit asks if you want to overwrite for each family.

I have a lot of families (109) that have lots of instances (3,500) so I sit waiting for minutes for each family to load and Revit to regenerate.

I know Dynamo won’t make Revit go faster but I could line up all my families to reload with no user input I could at least go and have a coffee (or boozy lunch, it literally takes hours).

Hello, so I am trying to do this, but to multiple files. so far I have managed to reload a set of families from a folder or directory. then using the Clockwork node - loadfamily.
it works really nicely

It seems to load families in the project but not to override them. In my case I wish to reload them like @Antony_Mcphee Antony_Mcphee, not to load them the first time
