Revit Family Editor: Why is it so important for AEC professionals?  Revit Family Editor is a very important tool in Revit which helps architects, engineers and BIM modelers in developing families that are crucial for them while generating 3D models.  When it comes to its appearance Revit Family Editor resembles a lot to Project Environment in Revit.  Same as Project Environment, Family Editor is also a graphical mode in Revit meant for creating different geometrical shapes and sizes for developing a family.  The only difference between the two is they both possess different tools.


 In other words there is a huge difference between the tools of Project Environment and Family Editor.  Family Editor has much more potential when it comes to developing Revit families. Geometry of the families created with the assistance of Family Editor can be fully controlled by their parameters.  That means, you can develop families as per your choice when it comes to their shape and size.  If in case a client wants large doors and windows for his house then technicians can easily develop such families by optimizing Revit Family Editor.

 And that is a great luxury for technicians or modelers since they can execute their Revit project as per the requirement of clients.


 Family Editor’s distinctive and eccentric features and tools makes Revit one of the most favorite software for developing families as well as 3D models for building systems such as architecture, structure and MEP.  Its family editor tools such as Family Type tool, Model line tool, Dimensions tools and Reference Plane and Reference line tools are very important for creating effective families in Revit.  Family Types tool is very essential for selecting a family type while creating a family however Reference plane and Reference line tools are optimized for drawing a Reference plane and Reference lines for a family.  Its dimension tools are critical for assigning suitable dimensions for a family. Its Void forms tool and Section tool are also very important for Revit users since they assist them in creating void in a family and section view respectively.  So in short due to its unique tools Revit Family Editor has the potential of creating highly accurate families.
