Revit :: Creating A Family Component For Wall Foundation?

Aug 12, 2008

I would like to create a family component using the wall foundation bearing footing as a template. I cannot find the file where the templates are located. I tried using the structural footing template but it would not give me the same flexibility the wall foundation bearing footing template does.

Revit :: Creating Folding Door Model - Exterior Wall Offset Family

Nov 29, 2011

I am creating a folding door model and would like to use a parameter called EXERIOR WALL OFFSET. I have used this parameter before but am having trouble getting it to work within my family. The only difference is that I created one frame/jamb instead of 4 seperate profiles. The question is, why can't i get the jamb to move within the wall using the exterior wall offset parameter? It seems to move the sash/panels just fine but the jamb is constrainted somehow.

Revit :: Wall Drawn At Foundation Level - Plan Visibility

Dec 4, 2012

I'm having problems seeing the walls I drew at the foundation level in this project. The walls should be shown but I can't get to see them except in a 3d view. Also, when i intended to draw them, I think I should have done it from the foundation level plan but I could not set the plan view to see the above objects in order to draw from them. I drew it from another level and then I modified their base and top constraints afterwards..
 
I tried to modify the view range of the foundation level without success.

Revit :: Text In Detail Component Family Type

Mar 25, 2013

I've been doing some family as an independent construction detail revit model, I think that is the most appropriate type of detail component. Graphically everything right but I encounter the following problem, all built to type text is not visible in the project then.
 
How do you control the display? or do you like I can put a text in a detail component family? and if not visible... why would have the option of make texts? Is the only option to annotate after in the project insertion?

Revit :: Voids To Cut Host Wall In Window Family

I would like to cut a void into the wall of a host window family. When I place a void in the family, it does not cut thought the wall.  
 
I tried making the void on a plane perpendicular and parallel to the wall plane.  I dont know if this has anything to do with how voids work.  But its not working. I also dont have an 'opening' element in the window family.

Revit :: How To Build Curtain Wall Panel Family - Scale Proportionally

May 29, 2013

I am trying to build a curtain wall panel family (see attached). I want the extremities of the solids to be glued to the surrounding frame. I want to be able to scale the model inside the frame with different curtain wall panel system sizes. 5'x4', 6'x8' etc... I am having problems with restricted constraints. I do not know what I am doing wrong. the model inside the panel are created from soild extrusions. if I align the solid extrusion from one side of the frame , only that side will grow or shrink with frame, and makes the model look weird. I tried to group the solids with reference lines in them glued to the reference line grid i created in the panel and that did not work. I want to be to scale proportionally the model inside the panel.

Revit :: Creating A Grab Bar Family

May 21, 2013

I downloaded a grab bar family that I thought looked very good.  But then I tried to place it on the toilet stall portion (I also downloaded stall partition families).  When I tried to place the grab bar, it wouldn't place -- I believe because the grab bar is WALL BASED.
 
So now the question is how do I go about placing a grab bar (or anything else) that is not wall based so that I can use it with the stall portion?  I had tried to use face based but couldn't get that too work.

Revit :: Creating Wall Types

Feb 21, 2012

How do I create simple wall types?  I would like to create 2x6 and 2x4 walls with 7/16" OSB on them.  I would like to see each stud when I going into 3D and I would like the dimensions to be from face of framing; not the OSB or centerline. 

I would like to mimic the plan dimensions when I input the building into Rivet.  Basically, I want to build a stick framed home so I can add the floors, walls and roof and then go into the mechanical and see how it all stacks out and is going to come together.

Revit :: Creating A Wall Style With Sweep

Feb 13, 2006

I have tried 2 methods of generating a parapet cap:

1 - Creating a wall style with the sweep.

2 - Added a host sweep.

The problem is that using either method or a combination of both methods doesn't always work. I still end up with some caps that don't miter correctly even after editing. Sometimes, different intersections will miter and others won't.

Revit :: How To Create A Sloped Wall By Creating A Mass In Place

Apr 18, 2013

I am trying to create a sloped wall by creating a mass in-place.  First I draw a line on a surface at a pre-determined level that I've set up in elevation.  Then I offset this line in the vertical plane.  My next step is to offset this second line so that it is not directly above the original line, but offset in the horizontal plane.  How do I change from a vertical to a horizontal offset?  I’ve tried different work planes, but they all offset vertically.

Revit :: How To Align Nested Family To Reference Line In Host Family To Rotates Around A Certain Point

Jan 29, 2014

I'm trying to align a nested family to a reference line in my host family so that it rotates around a certain point.
 
I've created the reference line in my host family, locked the end point to two reference planes and then gave an angular parameter to the angle between the ref. line and the ref. plane.
 
I then inserted the nested family and aligned it to the ref. line. The problem is that when I flex the angle, i get a "Constraints not satisfied" error..
 
What could be wrong?
 
I'm using a generic face based family for both host and nested families...
