The latest Revit release includes a new collection of residential-focused content. In this first-look session, we will explore this new content pack and learn how best to use it in your projects. New content items include both loadable and system families and cover diverse items such as fireplaces, shower doors, and EV vehicle chargers. Leveraging existing window families, a new collection of shutters is now included. If your next project includes a yard or patio, you’ll find items like backyard sheds, firepits and even an Adirondack chair. This session will focus on exploring these new items and showing best practice ways to incorporate them into your next design. Join us to see new stretchable schematic casework items, closet system items and even a selection of exercise equipment.

step-byMaybe you know the power of Revit software’s Family Editor but you’ve avoided it, or it’s intimidated you until now. Wait no more. This lab will introduce you to the basics of Family Editor. Once you get past being intimidated, you will find that while Family Editor is extremely powerful, it can actually be great fun. In this short introduction to Family Editor, we’ll create a Revit component family complete with constraints and parameters. Don’t worry if you don’t know what a constraint or parameter is—we’ll cover that too. Whether you’ve never worked in Revit software before, or you’ve used Revit for a while but you’ve simply avoided Family Editor, this lab will teach you the basics of the Family Editor in a simple step-by-step fashion, and in the best way possible: hands-on! (The session will use architectural examples, but the concepts apply to all flavors of the Revit software, including Revit LT.)
