Introduction to Basic Revit Family Course2:53
Learn to create parametric Revit families for interior designers, step by step, including materials and finishes, distinguish instance and type parameters, and insert them into your Revit models.

Introduction0:20
What you will learn
Starting0:52
Start a new metric casework family template, save it as bench in a folder, and use depth, height, width, finish, and identity datum to create more families.
Reference Planes and Parameters10:24
Modeling Extrusions3:58
Model extrusions in Revit by drawing rectangles, locking to reference planes, and using intersections to connect plan shapes, then align legs, supports, and seat in front elevation.
Flex Family1:39

Insert Family to Project0:55
Load the Revit family from the insert tab, place it in the project as a component, and compare its instance and type parameters across two family types.
Difference Between Type Parameters and Instance Parameters2:27
Explains the difference between type parameters and instance parameters in Revit families, showing type changes apply to all instances while instance changes affect only the selected instance.

Requirements

This mini-course is for users with basic understanding of interface and terms of Revit, however with a bit of effort a new user can do it too.

Description

Start your Interior Design path in Revit learning how to model a custom Revit family. Parametric Revit families allow you to quickly change sizes and finishes, speeding your modeling and leaving more time for you to work on the creative side of your Interior Design projects.

In this course you'll learn how to create a basic Autodesk Revit parametric family of a bench.

Learn step by step:

- How to start a Revit family

- How to create and add basic family parameters

- How to create family types

- How to create materials (finishes)

- How to add materials (finishes) to specific parts of the family

- How to create Instance and Type parameters

- How to test/flex the quality of the family

- How to insert Revit families in a Revit model (project).

This course is for users with basic understanding of interface and terms of Revit, however with a bit of effort a new user can do it too.
