BIMxt Online: Revit Railings and Families
FREE
Description:
Agenda:
Join us for our next BIMxt Online event! Our presenters will be exploring Revit Railings and Families.
Welcome and Introduction
Dana De Filippi
Tip of the Month: Introduction to Autodesk Forma
Rationalizing Revit Railings
Brian Mackey, BD Mackey Consulting
Most experienced Revit users can discuss how to place and modify stairs, and they have a general working knowledge of all features that comprise a railing. However, after digging into the properties, nested families, and options of railings, most users start to regard railings as confusing and complicated, yet customizable. This session will describe all the intricate facets of railings, how each feature works, and how to navigate making customizations. In addition we will cover Handrail Hacks, some of the more non-traditional ways to customize Revit Railings.
