I’ve tried to create Loadable Family Component with new subcategory but I have still some problems with New Component Family.
When I’ve resolved problem with categoryId: 1. The input category id cannot be assigned as the new category for this family.Parameter name: categoryId.
I get the error 1. ElementId cannot be deleted.Parameter name: elementId
Main Family Component you mean all Model categories (not Annotation) like for example Lines?
I’ve tried to use Model categories but I’ve faced problem with categoryId: 1. The input category id cannot be assigned as the new category for this family.Parameter name: categoryId.
I want to create family contains flat triangles with possiblity to assign angles and lenght of the sides of the triangle via shared parameters (please see picture above).
I thought the generic annotations template will be the best choice. If you have any advice of model categories and templates to create flat triangle (lines or surface) I really appreciate.
For a Ceiling (system family) or a Host Ceiling Family (such as a light)? If you are trying to fake a system family see this workaround for adding System Category ‘faux’ family.
Also I am not trying to do anything crazy. I would just like to transfer a Shape from Rhino to Revit and have it classified as a ceiling and have all the parameters of a pre existing ceiling type that I picked, also to be located exactly where it is in Rhino. Is there such a component in RhinoInsideRevit, Pick geometry, pick category, pick type, profit ?
The Ceilings Type Parameters are specific to the System Family.
A DirectShape will get you the closest to your wish. You would need to make custom parameters that align with your System Families and DirectShape types for scheduling and tagging purposes.
So direct shape or direct shape types is not an option.
Isn’t there a template or a component that can simply get a geometry and transfer it to Revit, in place and with all the parameters of a type you have selected (apparently as a components family since it’s the only one that has almost all I need).
Component is almost perfect, there must be way to place it easily just the way it is in Rhino.
Revit does not have that functionality, their answer is the in-place component, direct shape or direct shape type; all of which come up a little short of your needs.
