Digital Tutors - Creating Custom Families for Industrial Structures

Duration 2h 3m

In this set of Revit tutorials we'll learn how to model adaptive and parametric structural framing families for a light industrial building.

We'll begin from the ground and work our way up by beginning at the foundation and slab. Once those elements are in place, we'll begin modeling a parametric rigid frame family in the generic family template. Next we'll work in the adaptive modeling template to create a flexible tension cable that we'll use as cross bracing for the rigid frame system.

Finally we'll take a look at how we can use the Beam System tool to layout and place our purlins and side wall girts onto the rigid frame. By the end of this Revit training you'll have a solid understanding of how to create custom families that may not exist within the families library.

You'll also have a handful of tips and tricks that will make your modeling experience in Revit an efficient and even rewarding one
