Revit family modelling brings four main benefits in construction projects:
Revit Family Editor can create 2D and 3D families, which can be parametric and non-parametric. In parametric families, changes and variation of materials and sizes can be edited and several variations in a single family can be saved as types. On the other side, non-parametric families have unique geometry and cannot be altered. Both parametric and non-parametric families are useful for different applications in 3D building models.
Dimension tools in Revit assign exact dimensions to the components of a Revit family. Therefore, when a family is placed in a model, Revit will automatically assign dimension to all its elements.
Providing 3D models of products for building developers is one of the main benefits of using Revit family creation services. Product models can be made available on websites for free download, so interior designers and architects can use the downloaded 3D objects in their BIM projects. Revit families provide added value, helping architects and designers create accurate models, while increasing sales for manufacturers.
Revit family creation services provide high-quality product models, which show all the elements from different angles and with high detail. Viewers can zoom in and examine every aspect thoroughly, including the quality, texture and materials. This also promotes e-commerce, since potential clients can check products online without having to visit physical stores.
For manufacturers, Revit families allow a quick calculation of the material amounts required for a project. Revit calculates weight and volume of materials based on the 3D model’s technical data, which helps reduce waste of resources while optimizing budgets.
There are several types of Revit families: system families, loadable families, in-place elements and annotation families.
Category: Revit families are grouped and separated by categories in content libraries. Examples of categories include doors, curtains, walls, furniture,etc.
Type: These are variations within a category. For example, in a door family there may be several types with different dimensions and properties.
Instance Property: This property specifies data for a specific instance of the family element. Any modification to an instance property will only affect that particular instance of the family. Continuing the example of a door family, an instance property can be the frame materials or the sill height.
Type Property: This property specifies data for all instances of the same family type. Changes made in a type property will affect all instances of that type. For example, thickness and width are both type properties in a door family.
Nesting Restriction
There are certain restrictions regarding the type of families that can be loaded and nested together:
