simple balcony

[ZioPacco]

Bye to all,
I've just been cuffing with revit architecture 2010, I read in the forum but found nothing relevant to my little problem.
I should make this simple cover for a balcony consisting of:
a frame, glass panels and supports.
I tried to make it all with autocad and import it inside me get a unique "block" with all my 3 elements without possibility to manage them individually.
I also tried to make them com andfamily inside revit but I use twice as much time and I can't handle the speech of the ucs well.
Maybe I tend to see things too much from "caddist" maybe the thing is much easier than expected.
Anyway an early thanks to those who can give me a hand, a council... a straight one.. .
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum

What you say is correct.
if it amounts a dwg design, it is managed as a block, where using the various views (plan. sections, brochures) you can place it correctly. Imported dwg is not editable, so it must be imported with the exact size and ready to use.

If you use revit families instead, it seems to me that one is already available in the default archive. on the difficulty of making them, the speech is subjective.....
on such type of families the forum already contains several discussions, use the "search" button

OK, thank you first of all for your answer, for the creation of families I find it difficult especially for the management of the U.S.... could you give me some tips?

Thank you very much

l'ucs in revit do not consider it ... (for now)... it is not important ..


for families, I think you must start here first:

hi, you can make two balustrade families (pannello + hook) and later the currents. I was preparing a short tutorial on the topic, it was published, if you want to jump. Hi.
