A Brief Classification of Revit Families
3

• Revit families can be defined as those
  architectural, structural and MEP components
  which are developed by Revit technicians and
  modelers in the Family Editor, and they are
  required for fulfilling 3D modeling requirements
  for different building disciplines.
• These some of these building components are
  purchased by AEC professionals from the market
  such as doors and windows etc.
• Revit family creation services are truly very
  crucial for architects and engineers as they help
  them in analyzing and evaluating the design of
  each building component.

4

• In short whenever 3D modeling services are
  executed for all the building disciplines,
  Building Information Modelers first have to
  create Revit families in Family Editor and then
  include these families for developing inclusive
  3D models, which can provide detailed information
  to architects and engineers.
• Whenever, Revit modeling services are executed by
  design and construction professionals they can
  make use of system families, loadable families
  and in-place families.
• Among all these families, system families are
  those families which cannot be developed in
  Family Editor as they are already available in
  the library.

5

• But when it comes to using loadable families and
  in-place families, design and construction
  professionals have to take the support of Family
  Editor Tool for their creation.
• Loadable families are those Revit families which
  are very easy to modify and which can be used in
  multiple projects.
• Because there it is not at all difficult to
  modify these families, Revit technicians can
  easily edit their dimensions so that they can
  fulfill the requirements of different projects.
  When loadable families are created by Revit users
  they can easily develop them with the support of
  family template which contain all the necessary
  data for the development of loadable families.

6

• Revit provides its users with various kinds of
  family templates which contain relevant
  information that is needed by design and
  construction professionals for the development of
  loadable families.
• Now lets take a look at in-place families and
  their significance for potential clients.
  In-place families can be defined as highly unique
  components which are created for fulfilling
  special requirements.
• These families contain special geometry and hence
  they cannot be used by design and construction
  professionals in more than one project.
• For developing in-place families and loadable
  families, architects, structural engineers, MEP
  engineers and BIM modelers have to effectively
  check out the specifications and instructions
  which are provided by clients.
