When a window family with arched lintel is necessary and height has to be controlled, what kind of parameters have you been using?

1. Angle based method

A arched lintel maintains it's angle if it has no parameters. It's just simple.

Don't Let Tool's Name Deceive You

I think the biggest difference between Revit and Autocad is that most of tools in Revit has there objective components like walls, floors, stairs.... But anything can be drawn with lines in Autocad. Sometimes this difference makes work easier, but sometimes the opposite.

But we can take advantage of the tools in Revit more than their names, if we deeply understand how they work. I mean, why do we have to make roofs with Roof tool? Is there any reason not to make stair with Railing tool?

What are you doing Railing?

Enlarge Your library "To Infinity and Beyond"

Sometimes, making families which has no parameters but has complicated shape is pretty annoying work. How the hell can I make a beautiful smooth sofa with only Extrusion and Sweep in Revit? Maybe, it's not impossible if i had more than enough time. But who has it?

Curved Pattern and Mapping

User question: How can I make arched brick lintel in Revit?

Like this one?

Well, at first, making models of each bricks which is straightforward can be tried. Of course, it's not very difficult to make it with array or some other features in Revit. But is it necessary? Then why don't we make model of each bricks for walls??

RoomS tag

Today, I saw a question that "Is there a way to maintain the individual rooms in a suite, but create a tagable suite that includes all the rooms as well?"

And here is a solution for it.

Making use of Curtain Wall

A user in Korean forum asked me how to make stud frame for drywall with Revit. I've never thought about it. I prefer make my model simple.

Isn't it look like mullions?

Curved Insulation

Few days ago, I've got to see a question about curved  insulation at RevitCity. I've never thought this kind of families are necessary before. I just answered the way I made curved frame can be used. It was just an idea, not tested.

So I tried to make one.

Step1.

At my 1st attempt, i just made a simple detail and arrayed it.
