# Can I use my own framing families?

No, we don't recommend using your own families with our Framing Configurations. 

Instead, use our family libraries which you can easily load into your projects. This is because our families include parameters and geometries that are designed to work with the Metal Framing solution.

You can modify our family types and families themselves (for example, nested profiles).
