Revit 2016 extensions

You wont find the Extensions add-on in the Subscriptions area anymore and the Autodesk Knowledge is not correct in directing you there.
With 2016 follow Start>Programs>Autodesk Applications Manager and there it is ready to download.

Family Types Catalogue

Thanks to Jeffrey Pinheiro of TheRevitKid for this:

Very simple way to selectively load family types without bloating with unused types.

In the family editor set up all the types but dont load directly into the project. Instead in the family editor export the Family Types to the same location as the family (it exports the catalog as a simple text file) and save the family before closing.
