Today we shift back to Revit to cover how you can make a basic corner window family (not using a curtain wall like most tutorials out there).
0:00 Intro
1:45 Setting up frame planes/dimensions
5:40 Making the frame
7:38 Setting up glass planes/dimensions
8:14 Host wall thickness
10:00 Making the glass
11:13 Void for cutting walls
13:10 Make width/height instance based
13:44 Test the window
16:07 Adding optional corner frame
18:57 Managing different angles
19:57 Outro

This is the real solution to all videos in RU-vid for a fail intent to a corner window! Very useful, thank you!!! Please a video with variable angle!

@AussieBIMGuru Год назад

It's pretty complex, but will see what I can do...

@matthewloynd9364 Год назад

Another tip I would add for more control is a Yes/No parameter that allows you to toggle if the wall is the same thickness or not. You can name it as "Same as Host", and in another parameter create the formula: IF(Same as Host, Host Thickness, Custom Thickness). This will allow for more precise control of the family. Other than that this is a great approach to something a bit more complex.

@AussieBIMGuru Год назад

Yes this is actually moreorless how I manage this sometimes, nice idea so that by default it will just follow host thickness.

Thank you

You're welcome!

Good stuff, voids can be tricky sometimes, maybe I missed when you toggled it, but there is a yes/no in the void that tells it to cut geometry or wait for you to use the cut tool, which is why I think it was cutting the walk when you loaded it. What seemed odd to me is that you did leave that checked but it was not cutting the 90 degree portion of the frame. Based on your opinion, which method for managing storefronts (and creating storefront elevations)is better: Creating elevation views at each storefront (and modeling them each independently at each location), or creating an assembly for each unique storefront and using the assembly views for sheets, with the ability to copy the same assembly around the project to differnt locations? Thanks Gavin, love your stuff, always learn so much!

Yes the voids behaved a bit strangely here, and the void on/off definitely helps once you're in revit 2021. Generally for glazing suits it would depend, the benefit of elevating in place is you get surrounding context, whilst if you do an assembly it's OK if it moves but you lose surrounding context.

Great video. Fyi you can turn on lock when aligning now.

@AussieBIMGuru Год назад

Ah so you can, good to know!

Try to add a software that shows what command you are typing on your keyboard. It will help absolute beginners to understand more of how you are doing things.

@AussieBIMGuru 6 месяцев назад

Hrm yeah might consider in future, although my target audience isn't typically absolute beginners. LinkedIn learning and Balkan architect are more beginner orientated whilst I aim towards intermediate+ level.

@zadams5596 Год назад

Great video. Since you made the height and width instance based for this example there are a bunch of grip arrows in the project environment that are a little confusing. Do you know offhand if that trick of constraining instance parameters to invisible lines will work in window families so you can turn the arrows on or off with a checkbox?

@AussieBIMGuru Год назад

Generally best way to fix this is make a pair of extra parameters to constrain the planes instead then drive them with formulae back to the width/height instead. This will disconnect them from the grip controls and having them formulae locked should also remove the grips. You can also use the syntax if(1=1, Width, Width) to remove bidirectional parameter entry to the dummy parameters.

@zadams5596 Год назад

@@AussieBIMGuru I think I understand what you are saying and have done something similar to make the arrows disappear, but ideally I’d like their visibility controlled by an instance checkbox in the properties palette like “turn on-off the arrows for me”. I know this works great for detail items and other categories, but i tried it a couple weeks ago on duct and pipe fittings with no luck. I assumed it had something to do with the routing preferences making fittings behave like loadable families that are hosted to system families and wondering if the window/wall relationship had the same issue, or possibly a solution to try out on the duct/pipe side.

@@zadams5596 yeah inbuilt behaviors here, not sure they can be circumvented.
