About this Course

Families are an integral part of working in Revit, and the key to creating custom content. They group similar elements with shared parameters (such as walls or windows). While there are predefined families available in Revit, creating your own families is a great way to build a library of custom content.

This course teaches you the ins and outs of creating structural families such as foundations, framing, and trusses in Revit 2020. Following an overview of the basics, expert provides specific instructions on modeling different types of families, and shows how to perform 3D extrusions, use templates, and integrate formulas, as well as look up files and build in flexibility with parameters.

Plus, you can learn how to create efficient sheets for printing with custom titles and shared parameters.

 

Topics include:

  • Creating parameters
  • Creating extrusions and sweeps
  • Cutting voids
  • Building stepped-footing and other foundation families
  • Creating columns
  • Modeling trenches
  • Adding framing
  • Creating joist bridging details
  • Working with metals
  • Creating tags and annotations
  • Printing sheets
  • Creating trusses
