Rhino.Inside.Revit create Loadable family

[邹佳1 (邹佳)]

When creating a loadable family using “new component family” in Rhino.Inside.Revit, is it possible to load a single geometric shape as a new family, and is there a way to load multiple shapes as different types within the same new family?

Hi 邹佳,

have you seen this tutorial before? Not sure if this is what you are looking to do.

Organize Rhino Geometry into Revit Subcategories

I have seen this tutorial before. In this tutorial, the new loadable family has only one type. But what I mean is that I want to model several irregular columns with different sizes and features in Grasshopper, and then load these irregular columns into the same new loadable family in Revit called “Irregular Column” as different types: Irregular Column 1, Irregular Column 2…

Having different Elements in Family that have their visibility controlled by Type will need to have their respective visibility parameter associated with it. We don’t have a RiR component, so will need to be via the Revit UI at this time.

Creating familly with different types elements

You will need to Associate the family parameter in the Revit UI. Here is a quick overview of the workflow… Individual Visibility Parameters need to be created in the family, then Associated with the Element. In each Type you would then turn off any geometry you wouldn’t want to see. [image] [image]
