It’s part of your model, so you can see it in any view. Model line is a line that always visible in 2D and 3D.What is the difference between those two? When we should use it? Revit has two types of line: symbolic and model. The common information for door is the swing symbol. We will add lines as additional information to our door. Revit Symbolic Lines versus Revit Model Lines We will replace the dashed lines with symbolic lines. So it’s not our fault! Don’t worry, we will fix this. If you create a new family, without creating anything, you can also see this error. But this one is the metric template that doesn’t work properly. I’m not sure you will find the same problem with imperial template. However, you can see that the dashed line is not working properly. Try to test it by changing the door height and width. Click the types button on your Revit ribbon>create tab>family properties panel. Just like what we always did before, we need to test this door. We have done with the door panel! We will create some accessories and glass panel for this door in the next exercise. Click finish extrusion from the Revit ribbon. We’ve just defined the door panel sketch and the panel thickness value. Hint: If you don’t snap it to the work plane intersection, your family parameters might not work!Ĭlick extrusion properties from the ribbon.Ĭhange the extrusion end value to 50. To make sure our rectangle snapped to the work plane intersection, override the snap mode to snap intersection by pressing SI. Change the drawing mode to rectangle.ĭraw a rectangle like below. Revit will show you a drop down menu, select extrusion. Double click it in Revit project browser.Ĭlick void from your Revit Ribbon>create tab>forms panel. We only need to focus on creating the door panel at the provided location. The wall is just a sample, we will not place it together with our door, when we place the door to our Revit project.


In this template we will see a wall sample, frame/mullion, and the void for our door location. This Revit template is different with what we have used before. Creating the Door PanelĬreate a new Revit family, use Metric Door.rft as your template. We will start with a very simple door in this tutorial, and add more accessories in later Revit exercise. This door family will have solid and void forms, and you will be introduced to symbolic lines and visibility control. You create parameters, create a work plane, create a solid/void form, and create sketch. You probably have found that creating Revit families is just a repetitive process. We have learned the basic of Revit families.
