Our Standard Design Practices While Developing Revit Family
Commonly found concerns
Through our best known practices we address the 3 biggest concerns associated with Revit Family:
- Stability – Revit family visually “falls apart” when switching between the Family Types.
- Dimensional accuracy – Revit family has incorrect dimensions such as length, width, height
- File size – Family file size becomes too heavy impacting project performance and file exchange
Good design practices that we follow
- Lean family template – develop custom “lean” Revit family templates to reduce overall file size
- Product variations – create a family type catalog (.txt) if product has more than 5 variations otherwise build the Family Types directly into the Revit Family
- File size – create lightweight families from scratch
- LOD – include 3 levels of detail: Coarse (LOD 100-200), Medium (LOD 300) & Fine (LOD 400-500) in family components
- Test –
- Visibility test – test a family within a Revit Workset – configured project to verify visibility, project performance and coordination
- Dimensional test – make sure every Revit family is dimensionally “flexed”
- Standards – embed industry standard metadata –
- MasterFormat Title & Number, OmniClass Title & Number,
- Assembly Code/Uniformat Classification Code,
- LEED Credit / Recycled Content Parameters,
- ADA / Barrier Free Certifications, ANSI, UL. etc
