pcrupi active Joined: Mon, Oct 16, 2006 3 Posts No Rating	I am working with Revit Structure and I am trying to create a 3D family. I am switching over from autocad so I imported the 2D image but I am not sure how to create it to 3D. Any help would be appreciated.

The family editor is the heart of revit, you must learn it and learn it well to become profiecient with revit. But basically if you are familiar with 3d acad the tools are similiar, extrusions, revolves, sweeps, etc.

Not quite something that can be explained in a paragraph or two. The first thing you need to understand when creating families are 'catagories', and family templates, then how to constrain the family parts to reference lines and then how to tie it all together with 'parameters'. Flex the family then push it out to a project for further testing. You may have to abandon some of your DWG 2D geometry however and start from scratch when creating the equivalent in a revit 3D family. . If you are serious about learning in a decent time frame you may want to invest in the video tutorials at www.CADclips.com or at least have a look at a few of the many free videos. . Five video series come to mind. .REVIT Structure 2008 A to Z (103 videos) (free) LESSON 1: REVIT STRUCTURE A TO Z OVERVIEW LESSON 2: INTERFACE LESSON 3: OPTIONS SETTINGS LESSON 4: FILE EXTENSIONS LESSON 5: LEVELS LESSON 6: GRIDS LESSON 7: REFERENCE PLANES LESSON 8: FLOOR SLABS - SKETCH BY LINES LESSON 9: FLOOR SLABS - SKETCH BY PICK WALLS LESSON 10: FLOOR SLABS - SKETCH BY PICK SUPPORTS LESSON 11: FLOOR SLABS - SLOPING BY ARROW LESSON 12: FLOOR SLABS - SKETCH WORK PLANE LESSON 13: FLOOR SLABS - SKETCH WITH DIMENSIONS (free) LESSON 14: SLOPED FLAT ROOF SYSTEM LESSON 15: THE ALIGNMENT TOOL LESSON 16: BEAM USAGE ASSIGNMENTS LESSON 17: SPLIT TOOL LESSON 18: TRIM - / EXTEND TOOL LESSON 19: OFFSET TOOL LESSON 20: VIEW CONTROL BAR LESSON 21: SILHOUETTE EDGES LESSON 22: VIEW TEMPLATES LESSON 23: VIEW PROPERTIES LESSON 24: COLUMNS LOAD FAMILY LESSON 25: COLUMNS BY GRID INTERSECTIONS LESSON 26: COLUMNS BY ARCHITECTURAL LESSON 27: COLUMNS BY HEIGHT AND DEPTH LESSON 28: COLUMNS ATTACH / DETACH LESSON 29: CUT GEOMETRY LESSON 30: COPING LESSON 31: VIEW RANGE LESSON 32: BEAM FAMILIES LESSON 33: BEAM PLACEMENT - HORIZONTAL LESSON 34: BEAM PLACEMENT - BY GRIDS LESSON 35: BEAM PLACEMENT - VERTICAL LESSON 36: TRACE AN IMPORTED DWG LESSON 37: BEAM SYSTEMS (free) LESSON 38: WALL GIRT SYSTEM LESSON 39: ELEVATION BASICS LESSON 40: FRAMING ELEVATION LESSON 41: SECTIONS - PLACEMENT LESSON 42: SECTIONS GRIPS AND TOGGLES LESSON 43: SECTIONS - VIEW LIMITS LESSON 44: SECTIONS - VISIBILITY AND TAGS LESSON 45: ELEVATIONS VIEW TAGS LESSON 46: SECTIONS - MISCELLANEOUS LESSON 47: SECTIONS REFERENCE OTHER VIEW LESSON 48: CALLOUT BASICS LESSON 49: TEXT LESSON 50: PROJECT UNITS LESSON 51: ARROWHEADS LESSON 52: DIMENSIONS - ALIGNED LESSON 53: DIMENSIONS - DO THE WORK LESSON 54: DIMENSIONS - LINEAR LESSON 55: DIMENSIONS - ANGULAR LESSON 56: DIMENSIONS - RADIAL LESSON 57: DIMENSIONS - ARC LENGTH LESSON 58: CUSTOM TITLE BLOCKS PART 1 LESSON 59: CUSTOM TITLE BLOCKS PART 2 LESSON 60: WALL BASICS LESSON 61: STRUCTURAL WINDOW AND DOOR OPENINGS LESSON 62: ARCHITECTURAL WINDOWS AND DOORS LESSON 63: VIEW DISCIPLINE AND WALL STRUCTURAL USAGE LESSON 64: MODEL OPENINGS LESSON 65: EDIT WALL PROFILE LESSON 66: WALL CUT GEOMETRY LESSON 67: WALL CLEANUP THEORY LESSON 68: WALL CLEANUP DEMO LESSON 69: WALL TYPE STRUCTURE LESSON 70: WALL FUNCTIONS LESSON 71: PROFILE FAMILY LESSON 72: WALL SWEEPS AND REVEALS LESSON 73: DIAGONAL WALL REVEALS LESSON 74: BASIC WALL FOOTINGS LESSON 75: STEPPED FOOTINGS LESSON 76: FOOTING RETURNS LESSON 77: FOOTING PADS LESSON 78: STAIR BASICS LESSON 79: STAIR EDIT RUN LESSON 80: STAIR BY BOUNDARY AND RISER LESSON 81: STAIR - RAILING LESSON 82: STAIR CUT PLANE LESSON 83: STAIR - PROPERTIES LESSON 84: STAIR LOCK TO OPENINGS LESSON 85: STAIR SPIRAL AND ARCED LESSON 86: STAIR MULTI STOREY LESSON 87: ROOFS - INTRODUCTION LESSON 88: ROOFS BY FACE LESSON 89: ROOFS BY FACE LESSON 90: ROOFS BY FOOTPRINT LESSON 91: ROOFS - ASSEMBLY LESSON 92: ROOFS SLOPED FLAT LESSON 93: ROOFS - OPENINGS LESSON 94: ROOFS SLOPED FRAMING LESSON 95: ROOFS INTRODUCTION TO TRUSSES LESSON 96: ROOFS CUSTOM TRUSS FAMILY LESSON 97: ROOFS ROOF KICKER LESSON 98: ROOFS ROOF COUNTRY PORCH LESSON 99: 2D FRAMING PLANS LESSON 100: 2D FRAMING FAMILY (free) LESSON 101: ANNOTATION CROP REGIONS (free) LESSON 102: DEPENDENT VIEWS IN AN ELEVATION APPLICATION (free) LESSON 103: DEPENDENT VIEWS IN A PLAN APPLICATION .
