Workflow Processes:

  • Non-parametric families

    This process will guide the user through the tasks and steps necessary to create the geometry and apply materials for a non-parametric Revit family.

    You can also follow all the tasks and steps in the 4.0 – Family Creation Tutorial – Sample Table process if you are not familiar with the creation of Revit families.

    Note: As best practice, it is always recommended that you start your family creation processes by reviewing existing families in your project or corporate library. And, if possible, start from a copy of them. Otherwise, select a template that provides you with as many presets and guides as possible. For example, if your family needs to be hosted by a ceiling, select a ceiling based template. Or, if needs to be hosted by a wall, select a wall based family.

  • Parametric Families

    This process will guide the user through the tasks and steps necessary to create the geometry, create and add parameters to the family, and apply materials to create a Revit family with multiple types and parametric behavior.
