I am not new to Revit, but to the modeling part yes. I use Revit Architecture 2009. I am needing to create a mirror with frame for a senior final and do not know how. Nor can I find any type of tutorial on it. Please, I need someone that can tell me how.

There's a lot of different way to do this. First, I'm sure you can get that mirror here under download section. Or, you can create a family or in-place family for it. I'll suggest to learn the fundamentals of modeling/family in Revit.

To make a mirror family, start with the 'generic model wall based' family template and just use a sweep for the frame and the box (medicine cabinet) and make it what ever material you want. The mirror part is just a rectangular extrusion (thickness of glass) and make the material 'Mirror no tint'' from within the 'materials' dialog box. Then load the family into a project, get a 3D view of it and then 'render'. You will not see the full effect until you render it. See image attached. The mirror has no frame, just the mirror. I also atttached the basic family file.

Thank you so much for the information. I did find one on the site and modified it to fit the project. I have attached the image. I would appreciate some feedback. It is rendered in Revit Architecture 09 at 1000dpi. This is the second one I have done in this program. I do not like to go from one to the other and wish Revit was better at importing other files accurately. Jean

Your rendering is nice, but 1,000 dpi? 10x too much really. Even rendering for a glossy magazine print is like 300 dpi. Most web images are 75-150 for good ones, and 96 or so for "just get it done". Turn that dpi down and watch how much faster it goes without much visual difference!

Looks nice! I think Id build the entire frame at once then tilt it into place rather than piecing it together on the mirror. Love the end result tho!
