    New categories off by default

    Is there any way to create a new sub category in a family, and have it off by default in all views?

    For instance, I created a thermal expansion tank for my water heater. It's in the plumbing fixture category. I want to create a sub category for the tank, and have it already off in all views after I load it in the project.

    That way, I only have to turn it on in one view, instead of turning it off in ten views.

    I wouldn't know since I usually want to see the families I create... But you could try checking it off in the family editor before loading. If you're lucky this behaviour will be copied into the project.

      Well, I was just typing a long response and realized that when I gett off my ass and create a template, the view templates will already have it turned off. I really need to get started on that. lol

        I finally started working on mine yesterday. It's a very tedious process but I'm sure when (read if) I'm done, it will make me more productive
