Revit Tutorial - How to Make Parametric Families Part -1

🎯 Master Parametric Revit Families | Complete Tutorial Series (Step-by-Step) Welcome to the ultimate Revit Family Creation tutorial series! In this step-by-step guide, you'll learn how to create fully parametric Revit families from scratch — perfect for architects, BIM professionals, and Revit enthusiasts looking to level up their skills. 🔧 Whether you're designing furniture, doors, windows, or custom components, this series will teach you how to build intelligent, flexible, and scalable Revit families that respond to parameters and adapt seamlessly across projects. 🔥 What You'll Learn: 00:00 – Intro & What This Series Covers Overview of Revit Families, parameters, nesting, and upcoming series content. 01:11 – Starting the Family Creation Process Opening Revit 2023 and selecting the Metric Furniture template. 02:02 – Understanding the Family Interface Explaining views in the family environment (Plan, Front, 3D, Left). 02:24 – Step 1: Setting Up Reference Planes Explains reference planes as “bones” and setting up front and back planes. 04:04 – Step 2: Adding Width Parameters Creating width-based reference planes, assigning equal dimensions, and creating a width parameter. 05:46 – Step 3: Adding Depth Parameters Creating the depth dimension, assigning as a parameter in the family types dialog. 06:15 – Step 4: Setting Table Height Switching to front elevation and adding a height parameter (750mm typical). 07:25 – Step 5: Structuring the Table Legs Creating inner offset reference planes for the legs (50mm), locking dimensions. 09:00 – Naming & Locking Reference Planes (Left, Right) Locking leg references to front/back and naming them. 10:02 – Step 6: Creating the Tabletop Extrusion Using rectangle tool to create tabletop, snapping and locking to references. 12:08 – Aligning the Extrusion to Reference Planes Using front elevation to position tabletop extrusion correctly with thickness (30mm). 13:58 – 3D View and Testing Parameters Switching to 3D view, changing depth/width to test parametric behavior. 16:03 – Step 7: Creating Table Legs (Extrusions) Drawing all four legs inside defined leg frame, locking all edges. 17:20 – Aligning & Locking Leg Height Aligning top of legs with underside of tabletop, verifying alignment. 18:00 – Final Testing: Depth, Width, Height Manipulating parameters to see the full parametric behavior in action. 18:30 – Outro & What’s Coming in Part 2 Teaser for adding materials, nested families, arrays, and more advanced tips. 📁 Suitable for Revit 2022, 2023, 2024 & later! 👨‍💻 Who is this for?
