Revit Family Creation - Building a PAR 64

This course is intended to introduce anyone interested to the Revit software and how to build a family. We will start by opening a generic model template that will give us some center reference planes and a few view to begin work. We will then lay in some additional reference planes so that we know where the different parts are placed. These will also serve as a guide to drafting the geometry. We will then build the barrel, lamp housing, gel frame holder and yoke for the light. We will be adding some different material parameters to the pieces of the light and assigning materials to those parameters. We will finally insert a C-clamp family onto the yoke of the light. 

The goals of the course are as follows:

1. Gain a basic understanding of Revit family creation.
2. Understand how to create a new family using a template.
3. Understand what reference planes are and how to use them when creating geometry.
4. Gain an understanding of the use of extrusions, revolves and sweeps in family creation.
5. Know how to insert an outside family, where the family will be located in the project browser, and how to place it into the new family.

This is an online course.  Each training section will include an Ebook that includes step by step instructions for what we will be covering. It will also have any downloads you may need for the section. Then there will be a series of videos that will walk you through the processes we are discussing.
