It's nice to see having custom editable, parametrically controllable families created inside Revit and adjusting them. But instead say we import a SketchUp file into Revit can we have the same advantages with native families done inside Revit or we lack any Why I bring this discussion is 1. Can we have control of imported geomtries from other software and can we document and annotate them 2. Can we have schedules tagged on imported objects 3. Can we adjust any geomtries or edit imported geometries ( for example - can we adjust and modify any kitchen cabinetry done in Sketchup and import into Revit and adjust that say if we decide to change the height or width or material can we have any control over that ) Revit does what it can do ,but just to save some time if we do any of these steps can we actually be having an effective workflow or to just model and design everything inside revit itself Data Management allows designs seamlessly connect between different platforms to ultimately deliver a good product without workflow compromises, it's simple what's your take?
Hi, basically, main advantages from imported families-objects done in other software-are presentation and it’s related to 3D appearance. Like Enscape has its own library and I think that a lot of that models are natively modeled in other software but not Revit. 1. It’s hard to have geometrical control. On the other hand you can assign some parameters and control something but with significant limitations 2. Same as previous reply, some things yes but you will be very limited because of imported geometry 3. Of all other software Rhino, trough Rhino Inside Revit will allow you the biggest freedom when it comes to changes, assigning parameters, etc. while with other software you could struggle a lot about this All in all, it’s very recommended to create them in Revit, especially if you would like to implement Revit in your workflow. In that order I will recommend you to start building your own library, start with main elements such as doors and windows and move forward, or decide what’s most important for you to have first. Also, start creating your own Shared Parameters. This will over time bring you a lot of benefits. Hope this reply will help you. If you need more info just say ;)
@@arkiteasy Thank you if the code was developed further we can edit simple imported geometries at least, for now have to do everything inside Revit . Thanks for the reply 👍
@@arkiteasy ruclips.net/video/KcT6gBaCds8/видео.html this youtube video demonstrates how rhino based surfaces, polysurfaces, complex nurbs can be assigned as Revit categories and can be imported inside revit as native families , way to go!
Yes, they will work if you created walls with a Wall tool, but will not if the wall was made as Model In-Place. But to make it fluted, verticaly, on a curved wall could be a bit tricky. So, if it's a small portion of a model you can go with a Model In-Place tool, otherwise I will suggest you to try to make it as a curtain wall with having unique mullion profile
REALLY COOL!!! THNK`s a LOT!!!
Thank you too, glad you enjoyed :)
Thanks for this tutorial! I have a problem of wrapping a reveal around a single slanted (right angle triangle) wall. Any help?
You can wrap only wall faces, not sides ;)
@@arkiteasy thanks for your feedback 😊
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAANK YOU

It’s really great. Take a look at this, by the way those guys have a great course about Rhino inside Revit ;)

can this be applied on a curved wall? or only a a straight wall?
It could be applied on a curved walls :)
Do reveals work in curved walls? Let's say I want a fluted reveal on a curved wall, mine doesn't work. :) Thank you
Yes, they will work if you created walls with a Wall tool, but will not if the wall was made as Model In-Place.

How to schedule reveal ?
For now Revit only has possibilities to schedule Wall Sweeps :(
