While we create the Revit family the determined use of this family in the particular defined project environment helps in determining to what extent it is designed. You are allowed to develop and design the families in order to include numerous representations that can be used in different project phases and project views.
Revit family creation is not always as easy as it sounds. Revit family has a definite purpose in the building construction and thus it is required to be created in a proper way.
If you are new to this then it is advisable to know about family creation in a bit more detail. We are here to help you go through with Revit family creation. Below are a few points that will give you a better idea of what you are getting into:
- What is the purpose of these families?
Anyone who is thinking of Revit family creation should keep in mind their ultimate reason for getting it done. They need to get answers to a few questions like whether they need a generic or specified family. What is the template they are going to use? What is the LOD to be used? On what parameters the family will be created? Knowing the answers to these questions will give you an idea of what you want. - What is this Level of Detail (LOD)?
LOD is something that measures the depth of information in a model. It decides the view of the project. The geometry of the family determines this by using the level of detail. LOD directs the proper view of the project with its complete features. The usual LOD one can use is LOD 100, LOD 200, LOD 300, LOD 350, LOD 400, and LOD 500. - Visibility of the elements
There are certain settings to be done with the elements view of the project to present that particular element on the front display. There are geometrical data given to every element created under the Revit family, this keeps changing and needs to be set according to the visibility needed. - Size of the families
The size of the family created is an important factor to consider. Larger families affect BIM performance. So it is important to keep a check on the object nested in a single family. A minimum number of customization and materials should be used. Only important details should be used. - What are nesting families?
Nested families are loaded in other Revit families. While creating nested families, it is important to look at a few things. It is better to restrict the nesting to two levels. Using lines and reference labels is a good option. Great care should be taken while making changes in a nested family. In a single family, not more than 6 nested families should be nested.
