### Solution 3

If you've modified the **I\_MF C+C\_CH Stud** (Imperial) or **M\_MF C+C\_CH Stud** (Metric) family, check if the  family still has the void (orange wireframe around the family):

If it doesn't have the void, you'll need to reload the original stud family in one of the three ways:

#### Option 1

You can load it from your older projects but make sure it has the void.

#### Option 2 (recommended)

1. Open a new project. Go to **Settings** > **Load Families** > **Main Families**
2. Find the family in the **Project Browser** under the **Structural Framing** category.
3. Open the family. Load it into your desired project and close the family.

#### Option 3

Find it on your computer. Once you have found the family, **drag and drop** it into your project.
