If you are just starting out with Revit and want to learn how to make your own families, this video is for you. In just over half an hour I’m going to teach you how to make a very complete window family that will help you learn many valuable BIM concepts, such as creating length parameters, visibility parameters, using formulas to control the value of those parameters, and even using conditions for the values of those parameters. 00:00 Introduction 00:16 What are we going to do today? 00:34 Parameters 01:27 Typical Revit user scene 02:37 What are we going to learn? 05:00 Choosing a template 06:10 Template elements 07:40 Generating the frame - Reference planes and constraints 09:50 Creating and applying parameters 11:49 Editing parameters 14:49 Creating and editing glass 16:07 Materials 17:03 From family to model 18:10 How to affect walls? 24:47 Visibility control 28:08 Formulas 30:55 Drawing the frame 32:01 Visibility parameter 35:09 Using constraints 37:43 Generating types 39:37 Types of parameters 39:52 Is this BIM? 40:25 BIM and workflows 44:27 BIM in the faculty of architecture 49:13 Raffle
