CAD Tutorials and Best Practices for professionals and students
We have learned the basic of Revit families. You probably have found that creating Revit families is just a repetitive process. You create parameters, create a work plane, create a solid/void form, and create sketch. This time, we will create a door family. This door family will have solid and void forms, and you will [...]
Sometimes we get a Revit project file, and see some interesting Revit families in the project. Can we save it to our family library folder and use it for our future project? Yes. Open your Revit project. Using Revit Menu You can click on Revit menu> save as> library> family. Revit will open a save [...]
Let us continue to explore creating our own Revit family further. We have created families with parameters. All of the parameters are type properties. What is instance properties? Let’s take a look this wall instance properties. Instance properties define how a single object is placed in Revit. An object in an instance. They only control [...]
Before we continue, let’s review what we have learned in Revit family tutorial: We have created a simple profile and use it for creating wall sweep. We added parameters and create several family types. We created a very simple 3D table using solid extrusion and blend. We added parameters to the simple table. We created [...]
*This article is updated on Jan 11 to fix some error. There is some error that I found when creating the railing assembly. Please read this again, especially when creating reference planes. You can download the file (download link at the end of this post) and compare them. We have created a very simple table [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
