Family Planning—from Custom Templates to Preparing for LOD and Sustainable Design

Family building in Revit software takes time, planning, and a lot of rules. Creating family templates for consistency and time saving can get things started off on the right foot. Building the bones and setting up the parameters will help set the structure and brains of the family. Families also need some meat on those bones in the manner of what is built. Builders should have a better-developed idea of how to maintain their desired Level of Detail (LOD) without compromising their files’ sizes. They should also be able to identify common scenarios where these skills can be deployed.
