To update an element type across all instances in Revit, you can do so by editing the type properties of the element. When you modify the type properties, any changes made will automatically propagate to all instances of that type throughout the project. This is a core feature of Revit's parametric design capabilities, where instances of a family type are linked to the type definition.

When you edit the type properties, you can adjust various parameters such as dimensions, materials, or visibility settings, affecting every instance that corresponds to that particular type. This ensures consistency across your model and greatly enhances efficiency, as it eliminates the need to update each individual instance separately.

Creating a new family would not achieve the goal of updating existing instances, as it would require the insertion of new instances rather than altering the properties of the type currently in use. Deleting and replacing elements doesn't address the need for updates in a unified manner and could lead to inconsistencies or loss of data, while modifying instance properties only affects the single instance being edited and does not facilitate widespread updates across the model.
