    Revit families are parametric and adjustable objects that are essential for BIM. There are system families like walls and floors, and hosted families that require a system family to exist. Families can be face-based or work plane-based. When creating a family, the order is to first add reference planes, dimensions, labels/parameters, and then 3D massing. Families have parameters for size, dimensions, formulas, materials, and more that pertain specifically to that family. Project and shared parameters are used for scheduling and across the entire project respectively. Connectors define where engineering data is entered.

    REVIT MEP FAMILIES

    WHAT IS REVIT FAMILIES

    Family is essential top bim

    It automatically adjusts to the host size

    system familes: walls floors roofs stairs etc.

    hosted families: need system family to exist

    mostly face based

    work plane-based families are based on levels

    to make your own family type -duplicate the family

    families are

     Parametric
     Adjustable and they can flex to any situation
     definable. they can be redefinable by duplicating the family
     data rich

    FAMILY CREATION

    Order:

     Reference plane
     Dimensions
     Labels (parameters) eg.height
     3d massing

    PARAMETERS

    1. Family parameter
     Size of family
     Ancillary dimensions
     Formulas
     Materials
     Visibility
     Mechanical information
     Electrical information
     Pertains to only that family
     Instance and type: instance-only changes the item selected
    Type-changes all the family type associated
    PROJECT PARAMETER

     Used for scheduling purpose


     Pertains to a family category

    SHARED PARAMETER

     Used throughout the project


     Like in title block

    Connectors: are where the engineering data are entered

     Electrical connector
     Duct connector
     Pipe connector
     Conduit connector
     Cable tray connector

    REFERENCE PLANES

    Creating reference plane


    Create tab> draw panel>pick lines>give offset> select the direction to offset

    DIMESNIONS

    Can be done from strong reference to weak reference planes

    Dimensions between three reference planes can be equally constrained.

    Parameter

    Select the dimension to be added as parameter

    Under the labels tab click add parameter

    Enter parameter type and parameter data


    Creating extrusions(cubes)

    Create duplicate reference planes in ref level, create duplicate plane in front view, create dimensions,
    create parameters (type), now click create>extrusion>check the chain >also check data to be entered
    in the boxes, >pick lines or draw lines > after picking or drawing lines lock the level and trim(extend)>
    in front view adjust height. Click select the object to add instance parameter(eg. Material).

    Duplicate object to change the type parameter or else change will reflect on all the objects.

    Creating sweeps
