- In this Revit tutorial, we will begin building a revit window family from a window template. Follow along and learn and learn how to use reference planes and the extrusion form tool to create this 3' x 5' window type.
Oh my, I must say, it is just a tad difficult to find someone so well spoken, easy to understand when it comes to Revit and You Tube. and I must mention, teaching in Imperial units versus Metric, ack! Thank you so much for helping us newbies w/your lovely tutorials! May thanks! Jul (CA Mama) Oh, ha! I just noticed your label "smarter architect" love it!
Thanks Julie! I know how difficult it was for me to find what I needed. I am so excited, but stay tuned for the new trailer video for subscribers where I'll explain what is next and provide a Zoom meeting link. I want to meet the subscribers and see how best to serve the Smarter Architect community.
I found this video one of the best and helped me a lot
Thank you for uploading tutorials with decent audio-quality, you're like Revit-Jesus to me.
in one day you will be a grate instructor all over the world.
RM Indika Keerthi Bandara medagadara Rathnayaka Thanks. I'm happy that these tutorials are helping you.
It is actually very helpful, but let me say that u didn't assign material to window's element in the video that follows as u promised, however u did an excellent job as some comments say here "It isn't an easy work, but you did it" , thanks a lot
samy yousef Keep watching the window family series and assigning materials are covered. Thanks for stopping by!
I found this very helpful and straight forward. This isn't easy to do, but you did well!
Hello, two questions.
-I would have created more reference planes for each edge of the mullions instead of only one for the middle of the mullion. I guess it is working because revit is guessing those constraints.
-when you lock te edges of the glass to the mullions. I was told to avoid locking things to geometry.
Thank you very much for providing this Johnathan! :)
James Priester Awesome! As you dive into families, you can build anything you are creative enough to design. I hope to build a Revit families course soon for the Intermediate User.
Thanks for the tutorial! This video was very helpful!
You move with disjoin to move the glass to the middle of the window.
Excellent video! Exactly what I needed!!!
why didnt you just create one extrusion for the glass sitting inside the frame rather than individual ones. surely this would be faster?
because that looks ugly in the floorplan
damn. those clicks are satisfying. lol
Why cant I see anything when I go onto elevation, exterior? it is just a blank canvass.
thanks. very clearly explained and very helpful
When I select any measure in line dimension 2:37 No LABEL menu comes up, so I cannot create parameter... What am I doing wrong?
have you solved that ? because i have the same question
Thank you for this tutorial!!!
Any time! I can't wait to release more content in 2022.
It's really easy to understand. Thank you！
VERY HELPFUL THANK YOU
Awesome video. It finally helped me a lot.
Great video! Very well explained thank you very much!
Well explained ...very useful vedio
Awesome! Glad it was helpful. More content in production now.
Thank you very much for this tutorial. I have one question: I already made different kinds of windows but the mullions are not visible on the floor plan view. Am I skipping something?
Hello,
When i try to edit the size of the window i get a lot of error messages including: Can't Make Extrusion, base sketch for extrusion is invalid, and lines may not form closed loops. I thought they must be in closed loops. I'm very confused. Thanks!
Click on your extrusion - edit extrusion - annotate - aligned your extrusion lines - lock. How I fixed the issue in my project, I aligned/lock my extrusion (mullion) line to my extrusion (frame) line.
thanks so much, really helpful
You're welcome!
Thank you for the answer. I fixed it.
Great instructional video. Quick Question. When you lock the glass elements. Is there a shortcut? As in if we were to draw one sheet of un extruded glass, can we copy it and still maintain the locked property of the shape? Thanks !
+Aisha Whitman Not sure I totally understand your question. But you do not want to use a copied extruded element that is already locked to a particular reference plane because it will likely cause errors to happen based on how you manipulate the copied element in the future. Hope it helps!
where did you get those template? did you make it yourself?
I am not able to save this file, it’s giving me error message file not saved. Not able to do save as too
Thank you
newb question, why do we lock and unlock those lines? (glass panels)
It is very helpful.
Wow, really impressed explanation ! Thank you for this video. I will subscribe for your videos for sure!
One question: When I tried to change the height or width of this window, I cannot do that because there appeared a messag "Reference Planes are overconstrained". What that means?
Milla Dimitrova There is a conflict between one of the predefined constraints you currently have attached between reference planes so as you attempt to manually change the height or width, it is causing an error. Just delete the constraint that you would like to override. Hope this helps.
Very useful!
Hello,
in my project it has 6 different sizes of window (same type), when I to change size, others also change, can you show me how to fix that please. Thank you
In order to create different window sizes, you must duplicate it first from the properties menu before editing the parameters.
Hello! Excellent video, I have this issue: I created a window but when I tried to open it on my project comes with an error : "Some or all the families you selected cannot be loaded. You must choose family files of the category of Windows"
I save my new window on that file. Could you help me?
Thanks!
Awesome...thanks for watching!
That error message usually means a family was selected from a category which was different than the family for which the Load Family command was invoked. For example, going to the Architecture Tab, invoking the Door command, then going to Load Family and selecting a window family.
Solution:
To load whatever family you want, you can go to Insert > Load from Library > Load Family.
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
very usefull siir
Why don not u use rectangle?
Tks
thanx man
thank
Sir i want know how to create a ceiling fan in revit
You can important a ceiling fan as a revit component or go completely custom. Maybe a future video! I recommend starting with editing existing revit families just to familiarize yourself and then go to creation from a revit family template.
Plz upload some tips
Thank you for this tutorial!
