Brian DeYoung

Level 3

2h 50m

The Revit family tutorial course explores advanced concepts for creating families in Revit. A variety of topics will be covered to show many advanced techniques. Concepts such as shared parameters and reporting parameters will be covered. Different types of Revit families will also be discussed such as face-based families and line-based families. Lastly, we will cover how to use a variety of formulas and the array tool in the production of repetitive families. Exercise files accompany the course.
