This time we will continue learning how to create Revit families. We have created a 2D profile in these posts: Creating Profile: Creating a simple 2D profile that can be used in many Revit families definition. Creating Profile Parameters: Adding parameters to add more controls for the 2D profile family. This will allow us to [...]
Creating Profile Parameters
December 15, 2009 By 4 Comments
In previous Revit Family tutorial, we created a simple profile for our wall sweep. For 2D profile, in most cases, that’s all we need. But sometimes we need the same profile geometry, but in different sizes. Revit Family and Family Types Remember when we can select different door sizes? The Revit project template by default [...]

We are going to discuss about creating our own Revit families. As a start, we are going to create 2D family: profile. Profile is used in many other Revit families.

Rendering Your Model
November 22, 2009 By 6 Comments
After we have finished creating a 3D model, then it is natural if we need to represent it in a nice photorealistic rendering image. We can do that in Revit, and we don’t need to be a master to produce a nice rendered image. Revit is included with mental ray rendering. It might not be [...]
Creating Custom Schedule Field

You have created door schedule before. Remember that now we have the ‘total cost’ column next to the count column? Sometimes we do want people who read this schedule know how much each unit costs.
