Revit improves each year incorporating changes to improve the Family Editor and adding easier methods of building Families within the Project Model.
This book is a specialized work designed to provide you with essential knowledge easily accessed that you need to quickly begin making Revit Families. This will assist both the beginner and intermediate Revit user in creating your unique custom Families.
After we explore the building of simple Families we will look at how to manage more complex Families using Parameters to create nested Family Types, and using Arrays and Formulas to build more diverse Families.
Best practices are also explored. Although Revit Families allows some very powerful parameters to be built some of these practices may slow and burden a large Model file. We will advise you of these trade-offs. Just because you can do some spectacular things does not mean that you should do so at the ultimate expense of your Model.
We will also provide guides into the procedure of trouble shooting problems in Revit Families.
New, this year we will take an exploratory dive into Revit MEP families, categories and connectors.
