come created finestre / port da zero

[scribas]

Hello everyone, I noticed that in the fantastic world of revit despite there are a tide of families that a person can use and download free of charge from the internet, there is always a door or window (or other types of families) that you never find, so I wanted to ask if by chance there is someone willing to tell me how to create a door or window from scratch.
I know what to do: new family>choose window/door metric and then start, but how do you start??? ^
I read the user manual but honestly don't turn it off, I'd need some kind of tutorial, can someone help me???? I also searched on youtube but unfortunately I was unable to find anything.

the first thing to do is to use the "search" button in the revit forum as they are already discussed topics:

see for example:http://www.cad3d.it/forum1/showthread.php?t=3650&highlight=sguincioor see autodesk tutorials:http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteid=123112&id=9603671

thank you and sorry!!!

I read the link that addresses me to a post in the forum, but that post does not answer my question, I know that I have to make a wall in the wall and know how to do it, I know that then I have to model the window inside the hole, what I don't understand is the function of the worktops and how to make the window metric once ie, ie when finished and I go to insert it how to make the parameters of height or width appear? Let's say these are the points I don't know.

big way, to answer, you should take a course on the families of, at least, 12 hours............))))
However from the straight to gfrank and parts from autodesk tutorials, there is almost everything, and slowly you will see that you will arrive.

I read the link that addresses me to a post in the forum, but that post does not answer my question ....

in the "language" of revit, the window is like the chase and like other "things/objects/families" : there is no difference ...

..... I know that I have to make a wall in the wall and I know how to do it, I know that then I have to model the window inside the hole, what I don't understand is the function of the worktops and how to make the window metric once fake, that is, once finished and I go to insert it as I make the parameters of height or width appear or the opening angle of the blinds to the Venetian? Let's say these are the points I don't know.

... but...
If you say you haven't understood "parameters", you haven't yet understood how to use revit....

However, the parameters are a "dynamic information" that allows you to manage the design/family/object/information, dynamically.
the classic example of parametric information is the distance (quota) between two parallel walls. This distance, set in a parametric way, (so not a simple static information = a number) allows that to vary the specific information (the measure of the quota) vary all the "elements" connected to it.
Ultimately, if I change the measure on the quota (the number that indicates the distance) in addition to changing the "numeric script" of the quota, it also moves one of the two walls, as well as, to drag one of the two walls in different position (compared to the other), varies "dynamically" also the numerical value of the quota (distance).
but it does not end here, dynamic information is also when in the design, for example, I carry out a section on a view of plant. in fact traced the section in a certain "place" of the plant, automatically, or rather, dynamically, a section view is "designed". if I move the section position, dynamically (automatically in real time) change the section design.
all this happens, because in revit, everything is "managed" with dynamic parameters, some by default, not editable by the user, other editable... .
the "base" of all this management, are the reference plans, some are present and managed directly from the software, others can be created and/or modified by the user that is "parameterized".
all information (lines, surfaces, numbers, words, etc.) linked between the lore and managed, precisely, with the "parameters"

you have knowledge of orthogonal projections: the projections of solids/figures (spatial) on the vertical plane, on the horizontal plane and on the side plane (po/pv/pl), with the relative trace of the connecting lines to bring the projections (view) of the figure on the various planes?
had the reference plans of revit are the po/pv/pl, the lines of connection, are the "parameters"
Still:
Take for example a cube, each face of the cube, corresponds a plan (in revit are the reference plans). on such faces (plans) are drawn lines (quadrates) which all connected, form the cube.
Now, if I change the lines of the squares that are located in "high" of each floor (4 floors) at a contour, (one square at a time) and then reunite them, the cube turns into a parallelepiped. (I actually have to move the upper square and make it coincide with the high sides of the new outline figures - now become rectangles), but it does the same....
if this change operation, the lines drawn on each plane is carried out with specific commands (parameters), instead of performing it one at a time on each plane for each figure, the transformation of the figure is instantaneous.
in practice "lego" the various lines drawn to a specific plan, moving/modifying the position of the plan, all the lines "attached" to that plan are moved simultaneously.
plans of course, can be translated (moved) but manche rotated compared to a board.
I can also "bind" one line to one floor, with the same properties of movement (i.e. constraints). ...

or I can tie a plan to a line/group of lines.

you can manage not only plans (containing lines) orthogonal, but also intersecting with various inclinations ....

a plan can become inamovable, while other planes, compared to the inamovable one, can be moved, rotated, etc.

how to create and use parameters, I refer you to the specific sections of the revit tutor, a short example is here:

[scribas]

thank you so much for the lesson, now the concept is much clearer, the fact and that it is two weeks that I use revit and I am learning slowly. Today for example I have understood + or not the function of the quotas and the plans of reference (I am going to try), but now I am going to read the link you gave me to have the clearest ideas, going to attempts you can but often and willingly you succeed fortunately and you do not understand how you have succeeded.
still thanks for the exhaustive explanation ^_^^

 

[geppo88]

in cap 22 of the custom guide of families there is a chapter dedicated to creating a parametric window
-creation of family x counterframe
-creation of the frame door
-creation of the davanzale
then nidification i.e. importing into the same component file by component

Is this the only way?

Do you have any windows to upload already made?


Hello geraemia

bhe...you can also model all the geometries you need within the same family.
Only, sometimes it is more versatile to use nested component families.
