As a Revit user, are you aware that you can preview your families? If not, it’s such an easy process; see below. You can preview adjusted parameters and changed values for any family type. This is available in all versions (Architecture/MEP/Structural) and platforms (2012-2025).

In the drawing area, select an element belonging to your desired family type. On the Properties palette, click (Edit Type).
