Revit Family Authoring
Parametric design, naming conventions, performance — author families that survive five projects.
A focused course on the craft of family authoring. Naming, parameter discipline, nested arrays, performance — and how to write a usage note that future you will thank you for.
- Author parametric families that stay performant past 30 instances
- Write usage notes that survive a year of project churn
- Recognise the four families patterns worth keeping
- Bulk-rename parameters safely across a library

Library curation
Most family authoring courses teach you to build a chair. This one teaches you to build the 200th chair in a way that does not slow down the model — and the discipline to throw out the 199 that came before.
“If a family has more than 30 parameters, it is wearing a costume.”

Revit linked files: Overlay vs Attach, shared coordinates, host visibility trap
The structural link landed 1.2 km away from the architectural model. A nested link reload broke 47 sheets. The Overlay vs Attach decision and shared-coordinate workflow that holds.
