Desirée P. Ratley, PE , CE, LEED AP BD+C Dezi is an uber-nerd who went to MIT and now is a structural engineer at
Martin/Martin in Denver, Colorado. She is a regular Autodesk University speaker; she spoke at Revit Technology Conference USA; she is the Structural Director for the Denver Revit Users Group and is currently serving as AUGI Treasurer. And as if this is not enough Revit in her life, on the last binary day of this year, she married a Revit geek she met at the AU 2009 speaker social, so you can only imagine how exciting their evenings are.

Class Summary
This is AB3737-L Autodesk® Revit® Families: A Step-by-Step Introduction This is an INTRODUCTORY class You will learn the BASICS of creating a Revit model Family. I am teaching the class in Revit Architecture using Architectural examples. However, most if not all concepts should apply equally to other flavors of Revit. I assume NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE of the Family Editor. We will start at the
beginning. This is a Hands-on lab. If you don’t wish to follow along, please pass the mouse to
the person sitting next to you.

Learning Objectives
At the end of this class, you will be able to: Create a simple, fully parametric model family Describe reference planes, constraints, and parameters Nest components and set up a parametric array Apply materials and other accoutrements

What am I Skipping?
The lab is Hands-on, therefore: I am skipping a lot of background info
Kinds of Families Family terminology Basic hierarchy and concepts
Relevant background info is included in the handout Please read the handout! Let’s start building something
