Revit :: How To Model A Parametric Unit

Nov 4, 2013

I'm trying to model a parametric simple unit in Revit. So, I decided t use the generic family template. I want to model a rectangular unit with exterior wooden wall and interior steel frame. I have three problems

1- I have imported structural column profile into the family, but my problem is that I cannot align the section to two reference line. For example, I want to align the top of the column to the top exterior wall, and align the left side of the column to the left exterior wall; but I can just assign of these sides.

2- I've imported structural framing family in my generic model, but I cannot assign a parameter to the length of the beam, and the length is constant, and I can change the length just in 3D view. Do you know how to assign a parameter to the length?

3-I couldn't use the predefined walls it the family, so, I used extrusion. But I couldn't use the Revit windows family on the extrusion walls. Is there any way to use the predefined wall systems in Revit to be able to use the windows families?

Here is the picture of my model:

Revit :: Create Parametric Seating Row With Generic Line Based Family

Nov 12, 2013

I am trying to create a parametric seating row with a Generic Line Based family.
 
If you check the file for the Length (default) parameter, I am multiplying it by the Arm Distance (600mm) so that the pattern repeats while I stretch out the line.
 
=Chairs * 600 mm
 
I want to add a parameter for the Arm Distance linked with the actual seat so that if I make the chair wider the pattern would adjust accordingly.
 
=Chairs * Arm Distance3
 
This way I could adjust the chair width and Line Based family all at once. However, I am finding that when I add "Arm Distance3" to the equation the Line Based feature stops working.

Revit :: Restructuring Model In 3Ds Max Using Vray

Nov 18, 2013

When I apply an Vray material to my linked Revit file the material appears extremely large and I cant fix it either by playing around with the scaling of the material or UVW-mapping. I have made sure that both my Revit model and 3DS max are both set to mm.
 
The scale of the material applied in Revit has the right proportions etc. Its just when I apply a new Vray material it goes wrong.

Revit :: Model Lines On Elevation

Feb 26, 2014

I am in the process of drawing up an existing building and firstly am setting up with the building mass. I have managed to get the main bodys of the building done and the main roof.The problem now is that when i switch too the east or west elevations to add mass for the roofs on the adjoining wings of the building it wont let me see the model lines when i draw them in the screen i just get an error message " None of the created elements are visible in Elevation: East View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings. "I have my reference line set not far from the building and it seemed fine when i done the roof from the north and south views for the main building. I can see the model lines when i switch too 3D views but i cant create the mass from there.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Revit / Can't See Model Faces

Aug 1, 2013

I have a problem with getting an Inventor model into Revit.  It's not the import of the model that's the problem, but the way the model displays in Revit.  (It displays fine in AutoCAD, 3ds max etc - just not Revit.)

Here's the part file - it's just a simple box with a couple of split-face features on it to generate a pattern.  

If I take the model into Revit, I can only see the pattern if I select the object.  

Deselect the object and the pattern vanishes.  Here's an unselected/selected screenshot from Revit:
