Description
Throughout this Revit tutorial we will discuss how we can easily enhance our 3D families with 2D components. We will start with the big picture of the final curtain wall panel and move down to the small details in our family. We will learn how to model families to the appropriate level of detail and than to enhance them with 2D components. By the end of this tutorial you will be able to effectively create a complex curtain wall panel by nesting separate components. Software required: Revit 2014.
