Hi guys, great show! Thanks for all the content and tips! Just adding some thoughts to the topics you mentioned. I'm quite sure they are still valid in Revit 2021, not sure if they changed it in the newest versions. - Only instance parameters from the nested family can be mapped in the host family. Type parameters cannot; - The "shared" parameter can also be found in the Properties pallete, under "other" categorie. I guess is a bit easier to find; - Once you loaded a shared family in a host family or in a model, you cannot un-share it. I guess you need to change the name of the family and reload it as a new one. It is a bit pain in the ass, so this feature should be used with caution.
I respect his knowledge and sharing of information only one level of nesting is to little for information perspective and use. I use max 2 levels of nesting in the basics. I work with revit for 12,5 years and a long time family creation. I worked at architectural companies and contractors and the last one is more to the I in BIM as architects are more into only geometry (in basics).
Hi Jeff wonderful session yesterday really glad I was able to watch it live - precious information for sure! Can you please post more info on how Brenton made that glass hatch pattern with PyRevit?
Hey tino! Thanks for tuning in! He did not make it using PyRevit but I was suggesting YOU could. I’ll make a video showing how to do it! Keep an eye on the channel !
@@TheRevitKid Is there a way to show a parameter unit as a text in a family... I made a basic rectangle family with one parameter width and another height as a dimension, but I want a text to display that the parameter in the floor plan beside the property browser ps.. When is the next live stream?
Damn... grouped invisible lines for labels is smart. Not as smart as using metric units, but very impressive none the less!
Haha cheers!! I agree with that…. As an American

finally got around to watching this one --- loving the Star Wars wall decore by the way --- respect!

Thank you a lot, Do you prefer to lock the centre of the nested family to the correct reference plan or host the nested family to the reference plan?
Brenton is one of the smartest guy I've seen, his chain of thoughts is awesome
Agreed! Thanks for tuning in !!!
can you make a cleaner tutorial?
Great session, congratulations!
Unfurtunaly I couldn’t catch the live. Lots of questions. Activated the bell
Ask them here in the comments!

where did the hatch pattern end up at?
