Practical ideas for Revit, BIM and construction technology. Built from years of shared experience.
Let’s say you have a family that has shape handles for instance dimensions (Length Parameters). What if you want to use it for quick prototyping, and then switch that same family into a version that u…
Can you change built-in parameters from Type to Instance based, and vice versa? This post shows you can. The essence of the workflow is to start a family with the desired template, add a value to the …
Dieter Vermeulen describes an interesting workaround – when using a Family Type parameter, how can you turn “off” the family without using Visibility parameters? His solution is essentially to delete …
Another nice workaround by Philip Chan – if you want to change one of Revit’s built-in Type Parameters (derived from a Family Template, such as Door Fire Rating) to an Instance Parameter, you just hav…
