You can view our Revit garage door families produced in different design patters and various forms. The presence of different types of garage doors allows for a better individual choice. Projects with particularly tough terms of reference may require further upgrade or an overall makeover.
In case of glass, we are pleased to offer a separate family designated exclusively to Revit glass doors and their variations.
So I've been working on this project for my construction tech class (I'm still in college for architecture) and I'm having some trouble getting a glass door to load into the project. Like the glass door that goes into a curtain wall. Even my professor can't figure out what the reason behind it not loading in is. So if anyone's got any tips or tricks to fix this I had appreciate it.
The solution to these potential problems is to use nested families instead. In other words, you would create each style of door in this example as its own family: a flush door family, a glass door family, a raised panel door family, etc. To choose between them, you use a parameter. This creates a drop-down list that lets you choose between the nested families you have loaded.
I am running Revit Arch 2011 and I tried to Load Family. I have a door which is a Sliding-3 panel door. I downloaded a file from www.yourbim.org and it was for a Sliding-3 panel glass door. I saved the file to my computer and then clicked on the Add Door and then Load Family and selected the file I downloaded. But it does not show up in the Properties Menu where I can select the type of door I want to install. When I Loaded the file there was a window which breifly appeared and said it would take a while to install this file but then it disappeared quickly.
Now in your project, select door to insert a door. Go through the properties dialog, is it there now? If not, ESC and insert a component family. Look through the Properties dialog this time, is it there now?
re-downloading the original file doesn't change the fact that it is a curtainwall door. Unless the OP is putting in a curtain wall, it will not show up in his selection box when inserting a door. He would have to create a curtain wall, select a panel and change it to the door family.
