Chapter 21: Making Projects Parametric

Use generic model outline families. Using massing families can be the basis for creating many conceptual shapes and forms. Understand how to create outline families using parameters.

Master It Using at least five different parameters within a massing family, of which at least two are nested within others, create a model outline type that can be flexed between forms.

Solution Parameters in Revit are an advanced toolset that can take a lot of trial and error to perfect. By practicing making challenging shapes, you'll begin to understand the powers and limits of this toolset.

Understand advanced conceptual massing. Once you understand the mechanics of creating parametric model outline families, the next step ...
