Revit Family Creation Services

BIM objects are a family of intelligent virtual 3D objects that provide detailed information of a product or component about its physical characteristics such as its geometry and visual graphical representation. The BIM object simulates the real-world behavior and specifications in exactly the same way as the product itself enabling it to be used in the BIM model of the project in which it is to be utilized. Product manufacturers usually embed the BIM objects in the product catalogs which are subsequently used by the project engineers and architects searching for the specific product.

Every object embeds a set of metadata such as product literature, standard details, technical datasheets, NBS specifications, model number and warranty information. There are two types of BIM objects namely, components object and layered objects. The component objects are product models which have a distinct 3D geometry such as windows, doors, boilers etc. Layered objects or material objects are products models that do not have a distinct geometry or size such as carpets, roofing, walls, and ceilings.

Custom revit family creation is the process of creating a library of building products or mechanical components, mostly commonly using Autodesk Revit platform such that any change to a family type is updated and reflected instantly throughout the project which uses that family type, eg, if the dimensions of a window type is changed, all the windows of same family are instantly updated throughout the project. Such Revit families are known as Parametric Revit families. Usage of such intelligent or parametric families helps the project owner to maintain a centralized building information model for the project.
We provide standard as well as customized architectural library creation services for manufacturers, fabricators, architects and engineers for their product model catalogs, which can be downloaded directly by their customers from their websites.
Leveraging our expertise in Autodesk Revit and extensive experience in BIM, we provide a plethora of parametric and non-parametric family creation services for architectural and structural building components.

Once created, these BIM families can be used in various projects as required and can be modified at a later stage depending on the project requirements.

Family Creation Procedure

E

Select the suitable family template(from ceiling-based, roof-based, wall-based etc)

E

Define the family subcategories for optimum geometry visibility

E

Create Reference plane and Reference line using ‘Reference plane,’ and ‘Reference line,’ tools

E

Add & optimize Dimensions tools to specify parametric relationship

E

Specify the family types using different parameters

E
Create the model geometry and add relevant geometry

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in BIM object library creation services?

BIM object library creation services include developing standardized BIM object libraries with consistent geometry, parameters, metadata, and naming conventions for repeated project use.

Who typically requires BIM object library creation services?

These services are commonly used by product manufacturers, large design firms, contractors, and enterprises that need standardized BIM content across multiple projects.

How are BIM object libraries different from individual BIM objects?

BIM object libraries provide a structured and reusable collection of standardized BIM objects, while individual BIM objects are created for single-use or specific project needs.

Are BIM object libraries created according to industry standards?

Yes. BIM object library creation services follow industry standards, client-specific BIM guidelines, and platform requirements to ensure consistency and usability.

Can BIM object libraries be customized for brand or organizational standards?

Yes. BIM object libraries can be customized based on brand identity, product specifications, internal standards, and project workflows.

Which software platforms are supported for BIM object library creation?

BIM object library creation services support platforms such as Revit and other client-preferred BIM authoring tools, depending on organizational requirements.

How detailed are BIM objects created through BIM content creation services?

The level of detail depends on usage requirements. BIM content can be developed with appropriate geometry and data levels to balance performance and accuracy.

Can BIM content include technical and product data?

Yes. BIM content creation services include embedding technical specifications, performance data, and parameter information within BIM objects.

How long does it take to develop BIM content?

Delivery timelines depend on content complexity, number of objects, data requirements, and validation or review cycles.

How do BIM content creation services support design and coordination workflows?

BIM content creation services provide consistent, reliable BIM objects that improve modeling efficiency, coordination accuracy, and overall project workflows.
