Want to create Revit Families?
In case you’ve been wondering what Revit is, it is building information modeling software used by numerous professionals such as architects, MEP engineers, designers, construction managers, landscape surveyors, and structural engineers. Although there are competitors on the market, Revit still stands out above the crowd with its excellence in creating unmatched BIM models for the construction industry.
embraces the advancement of technology in Revit. This software is popularly known as Autodesk Revit. The software was first coined in 1997 by Charles River Software, who then renamed it Revit technology Corporation in 2000. Autodesk Corporation acquired the software in 2002 and ultimately renamed it as Autodesk Revit, the name it is known with today.
Since the emergence of BIM, we have been harnessing the power of Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Navisworks. However, our engineers are versatile and thus well-rounded in a number of other software programs used in the building industry. This helps us with BIM coordination and management of different projects with varying BIM software tools.
Family Creation Services are made easy with Revit. Our engineers excel in this process of making families within Revit software. To understand this process and actually do it, it is a lengthy process that requires specialized skills. is staffed with MEP engineers, architects, and other discipline-related professionals, all of whom are well-versed with the Revit family creation process.

The phrase “Revit family creation” may seem confusing at first glance; it is actually an easy concept that promotes the creation of impeccable 3D models for various objects in your BIM model. Our engineers will be able to take you through this process. We are proud of the outputs and impact we have had in many industries so far with this specialization of creating families in Revit software.
All objects that we add to Revit BIM projects are created with families. And there are different types of families: system families, components families (also called loadable families), and in-place families. Consider walls, ceilings, windows, structural components and door that are used to create a 3D building model. These are classified into various families. Most of the objects created in building projects are either components or system families. And loadable families can further be combined to create shared and nested families.
The power of Revit should not be underestimated in the creation of families. It is also a powerful family editor with plenty of families and their templates. The understanding of this process seems cumbersome with some unfamiliar terms such as constraints, elements, and parameters. With, rest assured knowing that you have entrusted professional engineers with your BIM modeling tasks of Revit family creation.
Because we have been in this field for a long time, we do not need to study basic stuff like basic concepts and terminologies. We understand the categories that are pre-defined within the software. There are plenty of categories within the software which can seem overwhelming for an amateur in the first attempt of studying it. Our MEP design engineers are well-equipped with the knowledge of the software and the categories embedded in it.
A broad range of categories are distributed among master groups and these include model and annotation. Model categories, for instance, include model elements such as floors, beams, walls, stairs, and doors whereas annotation categories include dimensions, text, and tags. We also take into account the sub-categories because the categories can be very broad. For instance, walls and windows may be categorized into their shapes and sizes. A Revit family is basically a collection of like items.
As we have our basic process of creating Revit families:
- Our engineers will assess the scope of your work and the types of family elements required to complete your project. We will then choose from a bundle of templated within Revit. Some can be customized to your project. We are undoubtedly the best with custom family creation services in Revit.
- The next step is the configuration of parameters in the software. Some parameters can be adjusted or locked as informed by your design requirements.
- We will then set reference planes and associated the parameters to the reference plane.
- After creating the model, we will check its accuracy and consistency and then adjust the parameters accordingly.
- We can also set subcategories as highlighted above.
This may seem like a simple process but it isn’t. It involves a lot of work. Because we are professional engineers, to us it is achievable in a short period of time. Our experience and expertise in BIM model, BIM coordination, and BIM management has equipped us with unsurpassed skills in Revit Family Creation services.
As we said, Revit is characterized by categories and subcategories. can manipulate them and create a plethora of families within the software. Among others, we specialize with the following services:
All these aforementioned services we offer are not all-inclusive. We have a huge catalog of services; what we listed is just a glimpse of what kind of services we offer in Revit family creation.
has been at the driver’s seat of novice technologies in various fields of engineering. We are an MEP engineering firm and thus master all MEP fields. Revit Family Creation is one of our specialty as the well-established gurus in BIM modeling technology.
Our engineers constantly advance their knowledge of BIM. This has established our company as the best in New York that offers family creation services within Revit. We understand how to categorize the objects, and are well-rounded with all family types: system families, in-place families, and loadable families. This knowledge helps us to manipulate the process and leverage the capabilities of Revit in creating unmatched 3D building models.
