Doors: Creating your own Door Family: Part 7
Welcome to the final part in this series of articles in which we have explained how to create your own Door Family using the Family Editor, in Revit Architecture. If you have missed the previous parts in this series, you may wish to start here.
In this article we are going to take a very quick overview of all the key concepts that we have covered in the previous 6 parts. I’m not going to go in to detail here, as we did that in the respective sections. What I would like you to take away from this article is a thorough understanding of the key concepts, the thought processes and overall workflow.
Building Maker: Curtain System by Face
In this article I am going to take you (step-by-step) through the process of using Revit Architecture’s Building Maker tools to create a Curtain System directly from the faces of a mass element. If the term “Building Maker” means nothing to you, you may wish to take a look at this article first before proceeding.
Views: Duplicating Views
In this article we are going to take a look at the Duplicate View tool, within Revit Architecture. Please note that this tool is also found in all other flavours of Revit (ie Revit Structure and Revit MEP) and works in exactly the same manner.
The “Duplicate View” tool can be found on the “View” menu, in the “Create” tab. The interesting thing about the tool is that it contains three different options. These are:-
a) Duplicate View
b) Duplicate with Detailing
c) Duplicate as Dependent
View References
In this article we are going to take a look at "View References" within Revit. View References are an annotation symbol that you can use to direct someone to a different view on another sheet- or the same sheet, if you wish.
View References are commonly used with Matchlines but (with a little immagination) they can be used for a variety of purpose- especially if you are prepared to edit the family.
Let's kick-off with a quick example of the use of View References in conjunction with Matchlines. Here is a plan I have split into two zones, using "Dependent Views". The image below is of the "Primary View" so that you can see the crop regions of the two Dependent Views.....
Linked Files: Reference Types
In this tutorial we are going to take a look at the two different types of referencing systems (Reference Types) that you can use when linking one Revit project into another. This system is the same no matter what combination of Revit projects files you link. ie Revit MEP into Revit Architecture, Revit Structure into MEP, etc.
The two Reference Types that are available to you when linking Revit files are: Overlay and Attachment. In order to keep this tutorial to a reasonable length and to convey the concept as efficiently as possible, I am going to demonstrate the difference between the two Reference Types by means of a worked example.
