© 2012 Autodesk Revit families are groups of elements of the same type. All the elements in a family have a common set of parameters, identical uses, and similar graphical representations. SystemComponent Revit Families Beams Braces Columns Stiffeners are created and edited solely within a project and depends on that project model. Walls Floors Roofs Ceilings In-Place

© 2012 Autodesk Solid Modeling Tools for Families  Create solid shapes that represent the overall form of the family  Five types of forms can be created Solid BlendSolid RevolveSolid SweepSolid Swept Blend Solid Extrusion

© 2012 Autodesk Void ExtrusionVoid BlendVoid Revolve Void Sweep Void Swept Blend Void Tools for Families  Create subtractive solid shapes that form a void in the solid mass by subtracting material away from the solid  Five types of void forms can be created

Structural Framing Template: Beams & Braces 1. Built-in-Reference Planes- What they mean? & What they do? 2. Material for Model Behavior 3. Symbolic Representation

© 2012 Autodesk Reference Planes: Left/Right: Full Extent of the geometry, Controls the length of Framing Member Left/Member Right: Physical Geometry Edge/Cut back, Controls Cut Length Stick Symbol Left/Right: Extents of stick representation when symbolic representation is set to "From Family" Reference Planes in the Structural Framing: Beams & Braces

© 2012 Autodesk Symbolic Representation: From Family: Stick Symbol is not auto created/auto generated From Project Settings: Revit generates the stick symbol and follows the project ‘symbolic cut back’ settings under Manage>Structural Settings ‘Symbolic Representation’ in the Structural Framing Template
