    "Forms" tab in In-Place Mass

    Hi everyone,
    this might sound as a silly question but it's really driving me crazy.
    On a rvt file I'm working on (but that I didn't create) I've seen that, in the mass editor it is possibile to have the "Forms" tab right there, under the "Create" menu, with all the "Extrusion - Blend - Revolve ..." options.
    It is something that I always manage to have only while editing a family, not directly in the mass of a rvt model.

    So, can you please tell me how to get the same thing? Please open the image attached to see what I refer to.


    Thank you guys

    That is the ribbon from the Conventional Family Editor. Which exists if a family was started as a Generic Model, and then switched to a Mass Family. You cant make the ribbon like that within a family that STARTED as a Mass Family.

      Thank you very much for your answer.
      So now my question is... how do I switch a Generic Model into a Mass? I tried changing it through the "Parameters and Categories of Family" window but it doesn't allow this conversion.

      Thanks

        I used to have one of the old Mass Family Templates lying around, where you have the 'classic' form tools in the Mass category. Don't think I have it anymore since switching jobs. So, that is also a possibility that the file you have got started in one of those.

        I'm unaware of a method to switch the category of a user family to Mass, but I would not mind being wrong here.

          that could be amazing if you could switch categories on a go!

            It used to be possible, between Generic Models and Masses. I dont remember which year they "turned it off," but it was there for a while after the CME was created.

              I don't recall a time when a mass category family could ever be changed to any other. Even in my earliest days of teaching Revit I always warned people not to use the mass category for "generic" things, only for building "massing" forms. It never really made sense to me to prohibit that sort of switch, accepting that it might wreck other massing related actions.

                I meant GM to Mass, not Mass to GM. But yeah, good call, because the way i wrote it made it sound like i meant both.
