Revit Family Creation
CADD Centers of Florida has an experienced, highly qualified team of content creators who can generate intelligent parametric part libraries and catalogue for most Autodesk products.
Design and construction documentation has traditionally been produced by creating a range of separate drawings, documents & schedules to represent and describe a building. Whilst CAD simply represented an evolution of drafting techniques, BIM represents a revolution of the whole construction documentation production process. A BIM model is a digital 3D model composed of virtual building elements (called families in Revit). As well as being 2D graphical and 3D geometric representations, these elements can also contain parameters such as size, material, cost, model & manufacturer, or just about any other metadata required. In this way the production process moves from traditional 2D abstractions to integrated data based model delivery.
The advantage of developing Revit families for all of your equipment and building components is that engineers and contractors are more like to spec your equipment if it is inside the 3D virtual model. Many building component manufacturers and fabricators realize the importance of Revit families and have developed entire lines of virtual 3D equipment.
Autodesk Revit is a desktop-based software tool that allows users to design 3D building models using parametric modeling and drafting elements. In other words, a change anywhere is a change everywhere, instantly, with no user interaction to manually update any view.
A Revit family is a graphical representation of any building object and symbol. It can include geometry in 2D or 3D as well as data that supports the definition and creation of object instances. A family can be anything: a chair, window, wall, chiller, boiler, or electrical panel.
A change anywhere is a change everywhere. In Revit software, all model information is stored in one place. As a result, any information that gets changed is effectively changed throughout the model.
Parametric Components, also known as families, are the basis for all building components designed in Revit. They offer an open, graphical system for design thinking and form making as well as an opportunity to express design intent at increasingly detailed levels.
More and more architects and engineers are designing buildings using Autodesk Revit. Its modeling and parametric technology is unmatched in the industry. These same architects and engineers are inserting manufacturer-specific objects into these building models since they help the model appear as realistic as possible and provide the most accurate information for design analysis and estimating purposes. More manufacturers are realizing that if their product line is represented as 3D Revit families, they are more likely to be specified for purchase by the general, mechanical, or electrical contractor or architect.

Our dedicated team of experts can create BIM Compliant accurate representations of form, scale, materials and product data with appropriate levels of detail and parameter functionality Revit Content for Autodesk Revit Architecture, Revit MEP and Revit Structure that can be parametric, attributed and database linked.
After you've reviewed and approved your product models or families, we can help you syndicate the models through the Autodesk Seek web service and other searchable web content sources.
Product Information Modeling (PIM) has become a specialty within Building Information Modeling. There are specific content development techniques and processes that make this content consistent and stable, while performing correctly, providing the right user experience.
Customer specific component catalogs are created for high-quality, parametric-rich components that are accurate, product specific, schedulable, graphically clean, great in renderings and small in file size. Creating custom Revit family content components will enhance design efficiencies in projects, increase product specifications for manufacturers, and establish a market identity in the growing BIM community.
As a member of the Autodesk's consulting services program, we have been recognized as a provider of the highest quality consulting and content creation for the AEC design industry. We are capable of translating your business and design challenges into cutting edge solutions that increase the quality and efficiency of your design deliverables.
