4. Parametric Components
4.1 What are families in Revit Architecture, and how many are there in the library?
All elements in Revit Architecture are based on families. The term family describes a
powerful concept that helps users manage data and make changes easily. It refers to an
element’s ability to have multiple types defined within it, each of a different size and
shape. Even though the types can look completely different, they are all still related and
come from a single source, hence the term family. Changes to a family or type definition
ripple through the project and are automatically reflected in every instance of that family or
type in the project. This capability keeps everything coordinated and saves users the time
and effort of manually tracking down components to update.
Use Parametric Components
to generate the most elaborate
assemblies—including those
with intricate, iterative,
algorithmic, and behavioral
characteristics—as well as the
most elementary building parts.
The Revit Architecture library contains thousands of families and includes components in
both imperial and metric units. Revit Architecture family files are also available from the
Revit Architecture web library (accessible from within the product) and from other publicly
accessible websites. Each family file can produce many components. Because each file
typically includes several sizes or types, the number of parts available is in the tens of
thousands.
4.2 Do I need to know a programming language to create content in Revit
Architecture?
No, Parametric Components are an open, graphical system for design thinking and form
making, a powerful way of expressing design intent at increasingly detailed levels. No
programming language or coding is required to drive this powerful system. And any and
all relationships can be expressed directly in the system; nothing is assumed other than
that you are thinking about a building design.
5. Parametric Change Engine
5.1 What does parametric mean, and how does the parametric change engine keep
everything updated when I make changes? Why is the concept important?
The term parametric in this context refers to the relationships among and between all
elements of the model that enable the coordination and change management that Revit
