To do this you will start a new project using your favorite template and draw a wall. So let’s say you now want to take a lighting fixture that was originally drawn as a “Wall Based” family and convert to “Face Based”. So open one of your “Wall Based.rft” or “Face Based.rft” families and pick on the “Family Category and Parameters” button.Īt the bottom using the scroll bar you will see “Host” and it will either say “Wall” or ”Face” depending on which family template it was created from. Here is a twist on this: LINK – Craig figured out how to do other family categories! So how does one convert a “Wall Based.rft” to “Face Based.rft” or another question might be how does one know if a family is “Wall Based” or “Face Based”? Without knowing this little trick it usually meant that someone had to rebuild the family again, which is a real bummer and no one wants to do that. When working with clients there has been times someone has created a family using the “Generic Model Wall Based.rft” and now realize they should have made it using the “Generic Model Face Based.rft” family instead. In this click saver I want to talk about a Revit Family Trick that hopefully will save you some headaches today or maybe sometime in the near future.
