Add a family to a project 1 Open or start a project. To add a family to your project, you can drag it into the document window, or you can load it using the Load From Library, Load Family command on the File menu. After the family has been loaded in the project, it is saved with the project. Families are listed in the Project Browser under their respective component category. You do not have to carry the original family file along with the project. However, if you change the original family, reload the family in the project to see the updated family. 2 Click File menu ➤ Load From Library ➤ Load Family. 3 Navigate to the library or location of the family. 4 Select the family file name and click Open. In this section, you learned about the different types of Revit Structure families and when to use them. In the final exercise, you learn about the Family Editor, how to access it, and when to use it. Introduction to the Family Editor You can use the Family Editor to create both real-life building components and graphical/annotation components. Families store all of the necessary geometry to display the two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) versions of particular objects. Family element visibility can be dependent of your viewing direction, such as plan, elevation, or 3D, as well as the level of detail associated with that view. In this exercise, you learn when to use the Family Editor, how to access it, and the general procedure for creating a standard component family. When to use the Family Editor During the design process, you will need a specific component for your design. In this case, presume it is a bay window that you require. There is a logical thought process to follow: 1 Is there a component of this type already loaded into this project? If so, it will be available within the Type Selector. 2 If there is not a component family loaded in the project, you can search the component library loaded on your local hard drive. Also consider any internal family libraries that exist on the network. 3 Next, consider checking the Web library and other Web resources, such as newsgroups. 4 If you cannot find the component you require, try to find the component that most closely resembles it. It is far easier to modify an existing component within the Family Editor than to create it from scratch. If you find a close match, open it in the Family Editor, modify it as needed, and then load it into the project. 5 Finally, if you have exhausted your external resources, create a component family using one of the family templates as a starting point. How to use the Family Editor You can access the Family Editor in several ways. With Revit Structure open, you can click File ➤ Open, navigate to a family file, and click Open. When the family opens, it opens within the Family Editor. It will be apparent because the only Design Bar tab available is Family. Within the Windows ® environment, you can double-click any file with an .rfa extension and it opens Revit Structure in the Family Editor. You can have a project open and the Family Editor open simultaneously. To start a new family, click File ➤ New ➤ Family, select the appropriate template, and click Open. 514 | Chapter 16 About Families and the Family Editor
General procedure for creating a standard component family 1 Select the appropriate family template. 2 Define subcategories for the family to aid in controlling visibility of the object. 3 Lay out reference planes to aid in drawing component geometry. 4 Add dimensions to specify parametric component geometry. 5 Add label dimensions to create type or instance parameters. 6 Flex the new model to verify correct component behavior. 7 Specify 2D and 3D geometry display characteristics with subcategory and entity visibility settings. 8 Define family type variations by specifying different parameters. 9 Save the newly defined family, and then load it into a new project and see how it performs.
