Course content

56 sections • 214 lectures • 37h 41m total length

  • Introduction to Revit Families5:55

    Explore how Revit families form the building blocks of models, combining graphical display and parameters to create doors, walls, roofs, and other components across project categories and types.

  • Revit Family Categories & Types - Part 117:14

    Explore the three Revit family types—system, loadable, and in-place—and how to transfer system settings between projects, edit types, and manage walls, pipes, and foundations.

  • Revit Family Categories & Types - Part 212:49

    Master Revit family categories and types, including system, loadable, and in-place families. Learn how loadable families are created as RFA files, loaded into projects, and how they differ from types.

  • Revit Family Templates6:38

    Access the Revit families environment by setting the default path to English family templates, then browse 113 template files across 2D base, 3D base, and host-based categories.

  • Project Environment vs Family Environment6:15
  • Family Fundamentals - Part 111:09
  • Family Fundamentals - Part 216:05

    Balance detail level with time and needs, using 2D details and symbolic objects for plans when 3D is unnecessary, and set origin and room calculation points for cross‑discipline coordination.

  • Family Editor Interface & Essential Tools18:02
  • Revit Family Templates Explained7:11

    Explore how to choose the right Revit family template file for 2D and 3D families, including wall-based, ceiling-based, floor-based, roof-based, line-based, and adaptive forms, to ensure proper hosting and functionality.

  • Extrusion Tool in Revit Families6:51
  • Void Extrusions in Revit Families4:19
  • Microwave Family with Extrusion - Exercise Part 114:02
  • Microwave Family with Extrusion - Exercise Part 215:29

    Create a microwave family using extrusion techniques, detailing glass and button components, material assignments (glass, dark glass, plastic), and color/transparency adjustments, with alignment, boundaries, and texture setup.

  • Blend Tool in Revit Families7:28

    Learn to create and edit blends in Revit families by connecting base and top profiles into a 3D solid, adding voids, openings, and twistable vertices.

  • Chimney Family Modeling Exercise14:21

    Explore chimney modeling in Revit by building a base with extrusion, creating a dish with blend and void operations, and refining profiles, joints, and materials in plan and 3D views.

  • Revolve Tool in Revit Families5:50

    Master the revolve tool in revit to create solids from a 2d profile by revolving around an axis line, using boundary lines and end angle to model cups and vases.

  • Mixer Family Modeling - Exercise Part 116:10
  • Mixer Family Modeling - Exercise Part 218:44

    Model a blender mixer family in Revit using revolve and extrusion to form the body and cover, apply glass material, and add openings, grooves, and fillets.

  • Sweep Tool in Revit Families10:16

Requirements

  • A Laptop and Autodesk Revit

Description

Note: This is not a typical Revit Family course focused only on family editor tools and modeling commands. The course takes a BIM-oriented approach to family development, helping you create professional, parametric, information-rich, and optimized Revit families for Architecture, Structural, and MEP projects.


  1. Have you ever wondered why some Revit families work reliably across projects while others create performance issues, inconsistent schedules, and unnecessary project complications?

  2. Do you want to create professional Revit families that are flexible, reusable, and suitable for real Architecture, Structural, and MEP workflows?

  3. Are you looking for a complete learning path that helps you move from basic family creation to advanced family development techniques used in professional BIM projects?

In this course, you will learn Revit Family Creation from the ground up and gradually move into more advanced topics such as parametric families, shared parameters, nested families, adaptive components, annotation families, and discipline-specific family workflows. The course is designed to help you understand not only how families are built, but also how they function inside real BIM projects.

You will also learn practical approaches for information management, family performance optimization, family control, and professional family development workflows. The goal is to create families that are not only visually correct, but also flexible, reliable, lightweight, and useful throughout the project lifecycle.
