    Hi ABG, Thanks for making a series of tutorials on Revit Families. It is, by far, the best tutorials on Revit families I have seen. Well explained and well planned.

    Thank you for not playing bad music in the background! I'm amazed at how many learning tutorials are drowned out by uncopyrighted awful music.

    @21:37 you are constraining the legs so that when the table grows in Length and Width the legs will stay in each corner. In my model it won’t let me constrain each leg like that. I can only constrain each leg to move with either the table width or its length… not both…. Very confused 🫤. Any clue as to why this is happening to me?

    • @AussieBIMGuru
      @AussieBIMGuru  10 місяців тому +1

      My best guess is you may need to constrain reference plane to reference plane, and might be using geometry for one of the two constraining aspects. That or cross check the reference planes are both set to origin planes and the center reference types. Make sure you are also changing the parameters using the type editor versus dragging planes in the editor as generally that wont work.

    Any tips for the type of parameters to use for a Bar Screen wastewater equipment, which is angled at 80 degrees and needs the bottom part to be able to go underground without the top moving.

      If it needs to follow a topography i would suggest considering a railing family.

    Hi Gavin. Do you ever use Ref Planes sub-categories? I feel that once you're building something complex all those green lines start to blur in my eyes, so usually I like to have a different color for the secondary ref. planes.

    • @AussieBIMGuru
      @AussieBIMGuru  3 роки тому +1

      Yes I do indeed sometimes add reference plane sub categories for complex families, even if just temporarily. Usually I use dark blue for 'Major' planes and light blue for 'Minor' planes.

      @@AussieBIMGuru Glad I am not the only one. It's just annoying to do it every single time... I think Autodesk should just differentiate them by default... the Strong, Weak, Not a reference types.

    Did you also used a furniture template or a generic template to make the leg and then nest it into the main file? Thanks for all the explanation, helps a lot.... Wonderful as always and so helpful.

    • @AussieBIMGuru
      @AussieBIMGuru  3 роки тому +1

      Sometimes I begin from generic model template then change its category, but I usually recommend using the host family category for nested components if they aren't shared - that way they are all category correct at the project level and can have subcategories applied if needed.

    Hi Boss, i want to ask you something about the career, if i want to study (Diploma-Civil Engineering) in Canada, Am i eligible to work as a BIM Manager?? if not

    • @AussieBIMGuru
      @AussieBIMGuru  3 роки тому +2

      The role of a BIM Manager is one you will need to work your way to via professional experience and time. There is no shortcut. Most BIM Managers work as a BIM Technician/drafter and then a project BIM coordinator - this is typically at least 5-10 years of solid professional experience. If you are a Civil engineer then you would potentially become a BIM Manager in this pathway, but would need to learn more about building services engineering to become an engineering BIM Manager at a higher level.
      I always suggest doing a degree in your base trade (e.g. engineering) and then focus on building professional experience. No degree or diploma can replace this.

      My background is architectural, so most 'electrical' families I make are placeholders only. Things like outlets, comms racks and switchboards (with no connections typically). You can see some examples of this type of content over here on my website in the preview images;
