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?

I'm having trouble editing a family I've made. It's a profiled rim for a crate that needs room for a latch. So I need to create a small spacing in the rim so that the latch can fit. I've tried to cut geometry, and edit the family (rim) itself, but I need to edit it in an elevation view and not floor plan.

Revit 2013: Was playing around with sketching symbolic lines in a Generic Model family. I added a line and changed its LOD to be visible in fine only. Nevertheless, it was still visible in the family editor even when the view was set to coarse.
1) How can we verify visual behavior of a family while in the family editor if the objects visibility is not governed by LOD settings? (BTW: The family performs correctly when loaded in the project, just not in the family editor).
2) Is the fact that LOD is ignored in the family editor by design or a bug?
3) Is there any visual cue that tells us that a particular line will be not visible at a LOD?
4) Should we be duplicating Ref. Level views in the family to keep things straight?

Is it possible by importing a drafting view or copying 2D details, to not duplicate the detail components families ? I tried many ways, but I always get my families duplicated.
Copying 'Gypsum' will always duplicate with 'Gypsum1', even if they are exacly the same original family.

I am having a problem getting my the line weights to upate when I re-load a Revit Detail component back into a project file. The item on the left is the detail component in the family editor and the image on the right is the detail component.
There are no overides set in the visibility setting for detail items-> [name of the line work], however, when I do overide the line weight in the view for the line work, it doe change.

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.

I've utilized the Plywood-Section detail component out of the Imperial
Library, and it runs left-to-right, no matter the orientation of the element I drew. Messing with the Fill Pattern settings, it looks identical if I set the Plywood-Align pattern to "Align to Element", or "Orient to View". Nothing changes.

My detail component manager in AutoCAD Architecture 2011 was working fine until I installed Revit 2013 on it (as part of Building Design Suite 2013). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling MS .Net framework, but it has not worked.

I am trying to create a ball valve that looks like the following:
To get the filled in portion, I created a detail family with a fill. All appears to be well, until I load the family into a project. Then the detail dissappears. The lines remain, but the filled ball is gone. This happens when I am looking from the floor plan view.
If I look at the valve from an elevation, rotating it to see it properly, the filled ball is back.
If I change the family type from Pipe Accessoies to something else, for example, Duct Accessories, the filled ball appears as it should.
Is there a reason that Pipe Fittings and Pipe Accessories do not show detail components in plan views?
I'm using Revit 2014 and I've attached my valve family.

I'm going through a tutorial on families (Paul Aubin) and have created a shelf w/ nested brackets that works as expected when flexed in the family editor. Any project I load it into shows it at its default configuration, but when I select it in the project and change it's type in the properties box, the configuration does not flex - it stays as inserted. It also shows my parameters in the properties box as individually modifiable.

I have a family, with three nested families: A, B and C.
Either A or B can be picked through a "Family Type" parameter. Family C is locked to a reference plane, which is defined by a dimensional parameter called "Offset." Is there a way to have the value of "Offset" change based on whether A or B is loaded? Not sure how to use the "Family Type" dorp-down parameter in/with a formula to do so.

Is it possible to show the exterior walls at a different detail level than the interior walls in the same view? Keep in mind they are all apart of the basic wall system family so there is no editing the family visibility at this point.

I am creating a family for a mobile shelf assembly. While an obvious way to create it would be to use an array, because the client needs to be able to tag each shelf unit separately, that can't be done. The client does, however, have a limit of 10 banks maximum, so I've created ten banks in hte family that are controlled by visibility parameters.
Each of the banks can be a different type of shelf (the shelf units are nested families) but they are always of the same overall length and width in any one run.
Here's my problem, Everything flexes correctly as long as the depth of the units stays the same as they were when the family type parameters were assigned to the shelf families as labels. When you try to create a new Type using a wider shelf unit, you get errors.
Without the Family Type parameters assigned as labels, all of the reference planes meant to drive the location of the shelves flex correctly.
I'm using Revit 2013.

I wish to create a formula for a family parameter which itself references a 'Type' of an imported family. Specifically I wish to create a quoin stack which can be used for a 'reveal' situation either side of a door or window rather than just on a corner. A 'quoin stack,' as that which comes with the revit content files, typically is made up of two vertical arrays which intersect giving alternative long and short sides. Each of the arrays is made up of a different quoin type, a 'Short' and a 'Long' type which swap dimensions from from perpendicular face to the other. This of course is no good for a reveal situation where on the window or door reveal of both interleived courses needs to be the same, whilst maintaining the 'long/short' appearance on the wall face containing the window or door.
I have got so far as to create a 'reveal depth' parameter within the quoin stack family but need to find a way of addressing the 'Long' quoin type to change its 'short' dimension to suit the reveal depth whilst changing the 'long' dimension of the 'Short' quoin type to be the same.

I am trying to take a custom counter I created as a family and have it show a material in my project. It seems that no matter how I apply the material parameter to the family type object, type or instanced, the material does not change in the project when I apply any new material. I have opened up other countertops I have used from the Revit Default Casework Family and I can't seem to find a difference in the setup between mine and Revit. I wanted to use an instanced parameter so I can change the material per room where the object is used.

I have exhausted search efforts for only one filled region type allowed in a detail view.
What is strange, this trash enclosure wall displays the plan view filled region (referenced via callout), but when I try to show a hatch for concrete and a hatch for metal door, in elevation, the filled region changes "all" filled regions to what ever is chosen.
Then I tried a new circle to see if that changed things. same deal

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...

I just started using version 2010 (I was using 2009 way past the 2010 release). Whenever I go to insert a detail component such as a 3/4" bolt it fails. On the command line I see the name of the detail to be inserted but immediately after is *Cancel*.
I have to shut down Architecture and restart it before it will let me insert the component -- and then only once. If I want to insert other components I have to shut down and restart every time.
