Course Overview

This one-day course is designed for Revit users who want to create custom Revit families using 3D modeling techniques. Whether you have some Revit experience or are newer to the software, this course provides practical knowledge to enhance your family creation workflow.

You will explore fundamental concepts such as effective use of reference planes and the core 3D modeling tools including solids, voids, and geometry manipulation. The course also covers how to incorporate MEP connectors for various systems, use parameters to control dimensions and visibility, and referencing external CAD files into your family.

• Using model lines and reference lines
• Creating and managing workplanes, 3D solids, and voids
• Adding MEP connectors for electrical, duct, pipe, cable tray, and conduit systems
• Using dimension parameters for family types
• Referencing CAD files for 2D linework or 3D models
• Visibility parameters and Shared parameters
