Websites to download Revit Families for FREE:

RevitCity is like a repository or a place to download free Revit families. However, I don't know if this is still the place where your query can be answered or replied to.

BIMObject is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing digital content management systems for BIM objects. According to the website, you can download 33,837 product families, 244,292 parametric BIM objects, and 16,493,712 products.

Another pretty good site with a large range, and easy to find Revit families. With both manufacturer-specific and generic content, this is a great site to check out.

Modlar has a large collection of manufacturer-specific products to use with your projects. It is all completely free, you just need to be signed in to download the files.

Measured building surveys are a service provided usually by professional surveying companies who record all structural and architectural elements of a building and convert data into accurate As-built CAD building floor plans, elevation, section drawings and more. But to surprise, they have this section or page for you to download Revit families for FREE and even AutoCAD blocks.

Free Revit families, Revit drafting views (details), filled regions (hatches) to use when drafting and modelling structure.

How to Save AutoCAD Drawing as Read Only

How to Save Auto-CAD  Drawing as Read Only – is quite a difficult way to answer. The only way to answer this question is by giving different options for the user to Save Auto-CAD Drawing as Read Only. Let’s see some of them below. Save Auto-CAD Drawing as Read Only Some of the different methods are listed below please choose which is appropriate in your case. Method 1 – Use Save As Auto-CAD Drawing Files as DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format is a CAD data file format developed by Autodesk), by this method you actually prevent the user to make any changes to your drawing files. Making the Drawing as Read-Only Files Method 2 – Ideally you could right click on the drawing file icon (once saved), go to properties and tick read only. Ahh, well that doesn’t “lock” the drawing or anything. they can still edit it, do a Save As, or simply unchecked the Read Only option for the file once they have it. Method 3 – In case you are on a Network, you can requ

Revit Tip: How to Slope Horizontal Steel Beam

Image
How to Slope Horizontal Steel Beam (with images) Issue: You have an existing beam that has a level as its work plane. You want to set its work plane to be a sloped reference plane, but only the reference planes or levels parallel to the beam are available when you edit the beam. Solution: To make the existing steel beam align with a sloped reference plane. Open an elevation or section view of the beam. Draw a reference plane parallel to the beam/slab using the Reference Plane tool on the Basics tab of the Design bar and name it by editing the reference plane properties. Select the beam. Click Edit Work Plane on the Options bar. Select Name and select the reference plane that you just created from the drop-down menu and then click OK. Draw a sloped reference plane using the Reference Plane tool and name it. Click Align to align the horizontal reference plane to the sloped reference plane. That's it. Bottom-line: After you made it, you ca

The Top 10 Best Things You Can Do In Revit

Image
Use a project file standard template for your projects. This template can be an RVT file with worksets or an RTE file without worksets. Any custom and repetitive element showing more than one view on your sheets should be a 2d or 3d family. These elements take ups less memory space than in place families and are easier to manipulate and store in your Revit library for future projects. Always utilize the 4 steps process of creating families. (a. Create reference planes b. Dimension assign parameters and flex. c. Create extrusion, align lock to reference planes, d. Assign materials, visibility options and flex parameters). Use titleblock sheet templates with parameters. Draw details with details components and filled/masking regions to minimize loose linework and easier revising or editing. Open and audit projects weekly. Keep project file size under 200mb for maximum sync to central speed, reduced network latency and better file performance. Prepare your cad dwg file befor
