Freetrial Mazacam Software

- Congratulations

Gustavo, this is for you, sorry for the delay!
is often necessary to create a catalog to work with a family. One family that comes with Revit and work in this way are the family of structural steel columns.


But how do we create our own catalog of a family?
To see this I will create a simple example of a prismatic part with a central hole, and a catalog with some types.
This family believe from a extrusion and has 4 parameters: Width, Depth, Height and Radio, and is called Pieza.rfa.

not create any type, and that it will use the catalog.

To assemble the catalog, you must create a. txt, which has the same family name, in my case Pieza.txt and should be kept in the same folder where we keep the family.
In the first line of the file, place a list of the parameters of the family.
The format is: parameter name, parameter type and parameter measurement unit separated by # #, and among them by commas. For example:
Width # # length # # meters
addition to place the name that identifies each type, place a comma at the beginning of the line.
In my case this way would
, Width # # length # # meters, Depth # # length # # meters, Height # # length # # meters, Radio # # length # # meters
In the following lines. txt files are placed the names and the values \u200b\u200bwe want our piece. For example:
P_4x4x3-1, 4.00,4.00,3.00,1.00
where the values \u200b\u200bindicated:
P_4 x 4 x 3 -1 type name
4.00 ; Width
4.oo Depth
3:00 High
1:00 Radio
My entire file is displayed as follows


Once armed this file and saved in the same folder, selecting the family to carry on a project will open the catalog with all types available for use in the project.
