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 New York Engineers 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.
Typical Families New York Engineers Creates
As we said, Revit is characterized by categories and subcategories. New York Engineers 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.
