LEARNING OBJECTIVES

3.  Predefined set of properties and graphical representation.
 You can use the predefined types to generate new types
that belong to this family within the project.
 Can be transferred between projects.
 System families are not available for loading or creating as
separate files.
 Wysiwyg - "What You See Is What You Get."
WHAT IS A SYSTEM FAMILY?

4. TYPE PROPERTIES AND INSTANCE PROPERTIES

5.  The system is a grid.
 Type properties control the base grid layout and govern
the rules of spacing.
 Instance properties control specific variables of the grid
and justification of the grid’s start.
TYPE PROPERTIES AND INSTANCE PROPERTIES

6.  Curtain Grids: The defining frame work of the grid.
 Mullions: A set of system families based on defined profile

 Curtain Wall Doors and Windows: Specific to curtain walls,
you can not use a traditional door family.
 Curtain Panels: A specific Revit category must be
parametric.
 Walls Types: Any traditional wall can be used as a panel.
