This seminar will explore a practical approach to creating and nesting families. We'll examine the principle of decomposing complex families and creating them from several simple ones.
Let's look at the specifics of counting nested families. We'll also explore whether it's possible to completely avoid modeling the elements we want to count in Revit specifications.
Listeners will learn
- Work with families;
- Nesting families into each other;
- Parameterize the presence and selection of family types;
- Parameterize arrays;
- Use shared settings;
- Obtain specifications for the required elements.
The following tasks will be considered:
- Section AR. Creation of complex windows from simple sashes;
- Section AI. Creating complex cabinets from furniture panels;
- Section RC. Calculation of reinforcement spacers (frogs) without their modeling;
- HVAC section. Calculation of hardware in the pipeline flange valve family;
- EOM section. Counting components in the tray support family.
All necessary materials, templates, families, plugins are provided.
Basic Revit skills are required for these classes.
You will be provided with a licensed version of Autodesk Revit for the duration of the seminar.
