Revit Masterclass: Family Creation #2 (Parametric Arrays)

Today features a full length masterclass showing how to build a detailed parametric family - along the way we cover many medium to advanced level content creation techniques such as nested components, arrays, formulae and constraints. I'll follow up more masterclass style sessions at a future date on the channel, hope you find the depth covered in this session useful!

I hope you enjoy the session and learn something new! Feel free to comment any feedback/questions below, or follow my channel if you enjoyed this.

Your channel is so helpful for students specializing in BIM its crazy. Keep going.

Greetings from germany

Gotta love these parametric nested families. Nice work Gavin 👍

[osmani]

Very useful tutorial thank you so much

Hello from Thailand. Thank you so much for this clip.
I have a question, please. How make a array the post when slope terrain or slope area? Thank sir 🙏

Now I'm struggling with quantity takeoff. version without shared parameters in the video calculates invisible ones. how can i eleminate invisible panel

[arincakkin]

Thanks a lot. When i set array count as 1, there will 3 panel in 1 array even if i set panel count as 1.

Thanku sir ...for.completing my request ..thanku v much

"Revit Windows" series as the one you made for doors will be very useful

hi there, I have a question:
When you make a array from the post why do you choose (to) second and not last?

[ВикторНиколаев-ьь]

can you help how make vertical radial array, I know that I need firstly build family in vertical plane but it anyways didn’t give me rotate that family if I am in vertical plane, I just saw how to make array in horizontal plane but what about vertical, like for example Vertical Sweep 90 For Basket Tray

[GarthEdmunds]

Good day Gaven, Is there such a thing as as partial array family? If the object being arrayed is not to the full length it will show only part of the object for the length being drawn.

Hello, How can you do a parametric matrix, a two-dimensional array?

[ibrahimantonios]

hi there, what do you recommend for bim content management ?

[sanjayadias]

Hi, when the array count is 1, the panel count isn't working correctly. For example, when the array count is 1 and we change the panel count, it only shows 4 panels and doesn't update as expected. Can you help with this? I think you might have encountered something similar. By the way, you're a great teacher!

I suggest to not use spaces in parameters name. Cleaning and deleting materials is good practice, but I would leave one default material, some how file is bigger when there is non material in family.
Well made video I like that you use reference plane as base for dimensions.

Hi sir...how r u ...sir i.want to learn bim.based project from.scratch .
I will pay guide me thanku sir..plz.reply

[DavidGonzalezAlcaraz]

I liked your previous format more... with PiP (Picture-in-picture) of your webcam.
It feels more personal.

[taimursohail]

That's awesome but not for beginners, only for professional

Quick tip. By being quick, you’re saving your time, but if you would try to be a bit slower I bet you would save some time for your viewers.

It’s a real deficiency of Revit to not allow array number to be 1.
The very first parametric family that I’m trying to build is something that i need to have an array of 1.

How in the hell did these software designers at Revit not understand this? Their code is full of arrays of 0 or 1 length.
