KEY POINTS ON REVIT FAMILY CREATION

13/11/2016

0 Comments

 
As RevitHQ is starting to populate its library with more and more families I thought I might share a few mini-tutorials in some areas you need to consider when creating parametric families.
​
Now this is by no means an exhaustive list, this is a very large topic, and many people have their own opinions on some of the key points. But these are some of the processes you will find adopted in the families created and I urge you to consider them when creating your own.

REVEALING A DIMENSIONS RELATED ELEMENTS

15/10/2016

​Another small yet potentially handy discovery:
Ever decided to right click on the padlock icon of a dimension? Well, give it a try.
​Right click the padlock, then click ’Show Related’, and up pops a dialogue box that lets you cycle through exactly what you have dimensioned. It has a lot of potential, and it would be great to see this updated with the ability to cycle continuously through the whole dimension string. But for now, it is a useful tool that could really help during those more complicated dimensioning jobs. ​

SHAFT OPENINGS & SYMBOLIC LINES

8/10/2016

0 Comments

 
​This was a new discovery for me recently and one that I think has been overlooked by a lot of people.

The vertical shaft tool for creating voids and services shafts through multiple floors has a small feature that has suddenly made it far more appealing to use over simply editing the floor extents.

​​Of course, I should have been using this tool to begin with, but on residential jobs the need to cut through multiple floors with a continuous shaft is rare. However, with the discovery that symbolic lines can be drawn while in sketch mode, I will be using this tool far more often.
