Jul 19, 2012

I am working on my first real Revit project.  i need to modify a windows family and in particular i want to change the axis of insertion of the window in the wall. I mean... my window should be placed on the outer edge of my wall. i try to unlock the dimensions that define its position and then i lock the dimension in the new position; the window seems to be ok but only in the RFA file. When i imported it in my project file, the windows moves in the wrong way in my real wall.

Revit :: Voids To Cut Host Wall In Window Family

Feb 16, 2012

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.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Wall Style And Window / Door Insertion

May 3, 2012

I use ACA 2012 for residential design - I have a wall style, 2x4 stud w/ 1.5" airspace and 3.5" brick (modified from the stock styles) - but whenever I insert a window, it makes it as wide as the wall (9") when it should be only the depth of the stud wall (2x4 or 2x6) - How can I fix this?

Revit :: Window Frame Depth Changes When Modifying Window Family

Sep 14, 2013

I modified a Window Family file by adding a Window inset parameter. When I inserted the window into a wall, otherwise the window worked fine, but when I changed the window's Window Inset value, the frame depth changed instead of the frame's location. The frame was originally made by Sweep tool, but now when I made it by Extrusion tool, the window works fine. Anyway, for future purposes, I would like to know how to be able to use the Window Inset parameter with a frame made by Sweep tool. How do I lock the depth of the frame sweep?
 
The file is attached.

Revit :: Cannot Modify Wall Profile

Dec 7, 2011

I am trying to modify a vertical structural wall in elevation view - change from rectangular shape to trapezoidal (to allow a flat roof to drain to east).  Did south wall in one elevation; I chose the wall, and it was outlined in red.  I was then able to drag the east vertical edge down by a foot, creating desired slope. I now go to another elevation to modify north wall the same way, but when I choose the wall, it comes up with a blue ball in the center of each edge, with little hash marks on either side, and won't let me modify anything. Also, when I choose the wall outline (with the blue balls), I can't get to wall properties.

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 :: Window Family And Groups

Mar 14, 2012

I have several window types in my project.  Let's say that the window is 3'-0" wide by 4'-8" high - Mark #1.  I want to group three of these windows and schedule the group as Mark #2 - not three separate #1 windows.  How do I set up the three windows together to become a single window schedulable for the entire opening of the three windows grouped together so that the opening would read 9'-0" wide?

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 :: Custom Window Family - Cut Geometry Not Allowed

Aug 12, 2011

I am semi-new to Revit and am trying to make a go of it.  I am trying to make a window, that looks like my AutoCAD window.  So I open the Window Family.rft to start creating.  I can adjust my wall thickness to match my brick wall, I can set the frame to the void that is already there.....my problem comes when I want to put on the brick mould.  This overhangs the window frame and thus is outside the pre-ordained void.  When I try to make a void extrusion to cut back the outside face of the wall and allow the brick mould to show, it will not work - only the originally supplied void (that comes with the template) works.  

Revit will not allow me to "Cut Geometry" saying "A Family cannot have an opening and cut in the same host". If I set the brick mould inside the supplied opening, then the inside face will have a gap between the drywall and the window frame.

Revit :: How To Create Window Family That Has Different Grid Options

Oct 18, 2012

I am using Revit Architecture 2013 and am trying to create a window family that has different grid options built into the family.  I have included a copy of one of my window families I am working on and an image for an examples of what happens when I load all my windows into a project and place them.  Some of the grid families do not automatically adjust to the size it should be.  But if I click on the window (lets say it as no grids) and then select the no grid parameter again then it will adjust. How I can get these windows to adjust automatically so I don't need to do an extra step to make them look right!?

Revit :: Can't Put Window In Curved Wall

Mar 6, 2012

I can't put my nested window family in a curved wall. Where the problem could be situated? It has to be a normal straight window so I use my nested window families from other projects. I compared my NWF(nested window family) with the ones autodesk provides with revit but I don't find the difference. The NWF from autodesk work in a curved wall.

Revit :: Family Will Not Change Type After Load

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.

Revit :: How To Change The Wall Assembly

Jan 17, 2013

I am trying to change the wall assembly of my foundations (getting rid of a layer of EIFS) and it won't let me delete the layer or change the width (although I can change it into an airbarier). Is there any way to control what parts of the wall are locked in the "edit assembly" window?
 
I am very new to Revit and am using a student version, I'm nt sure if that changes things.
