REVIT REVIEW - ADDING A CLEARANCE AREA TO YOUR REVIT FAMILY

Check out my course on how to use all the SMART Revit features for Electrical design: www.mepguy.com/electrical-des...
Also download my free Load estimation spreadsheet and parametric clearance family while you're there!
Clearances are important. If you don’t model them into your families, other disciplines will take the space. Detail lines will do just fine on floor plans, but they don’t transfer to other discipline’s models and views. Without it modeled in, they will not know your equipment needs clearance! This is a great feature to help coordination go smoother.
I have an awesome course that can take you from Beginner to Pro in just 6 classes! Check out the trailer here: www.mepguy.com/electrical

Hey we have some exciting news! We are partnering up with MEP Guy to launch the most effective REVIT courses for MEP designers and engineers! Check out the Electrical course preview and sign up here: www.mepguy.com/electrical
As a special bonus, we're offering a free download of an Electrical Clearance family that anyone can use to designate a "no fly" zone or clearance zone that must be maintained in front of electrical equipment. Drop it anywhere you need folks to keep clear of zappy things!

I typically edit/create families using plan or elevation views. I have used inventor before so maybe I will try doing it more in 3D. That may be easier to teach others since you can see and pick where to draw from.

[@theelectricaldepartment]

the main reason I started using 3D was because some families I needed clearances on all 4 sides and above as well, so it was much easier to work in 3D view to understand where I’m putting everything.

[@raulloo1834]

how do i not make it print when plotting?

[@extremely_average8296]

How do you get a 3D view of just one room like that?

[@theelectricaldepartment]

Nearly done with that video 😉

[@telangananewsadda]

Please make videos from beginning

[@theelectricaldepartment]

Working on it! I've come to realize that's more in demand than I thought.
