QARC4Revit: The Best Way to Get Building Products Specified First

Written by Fadi Matti on September 20, 2019. Posted in Architecture, BIM, Knowledge Base.

Who loves to create or edit families? Not me! There are people who love it and are way better at it than me. Personally, I think architectural building product manufacturers should create the families for us. Further I think they should make it easy for us to access them.

Seriously WHY should manufacturers and their Revit files

be hard to find
hard to access
why should we have to register and have a password to access
why are they delivered as .zip files
why are they poorly named
why do they have no materials or require manual mapping
why are they not pre- assembled as system families so we don’t have to make them.

WE have been trying to establish WHY obtaining GOOD families is so hard. Is it because Autodesk said you can’t drag and drop system families? Using a library and previous project files is not efficient. At QARC systems we worked out how to solve this problem. By default, we have also actually solved the bloated master template issue. Instead we can now start with a trim template and quickly and easily add what is required each time.

Check out this short U-Tube video on our channel which explains the current problems with many building products Revit files and how QARC4Revit can help solves the problem.

Let us help you. Please view the video and forward it to all Building Product Manufacturers so they get the message. Then we can get back to actually designing and producing drawings not families – unless of course you want to!

WHO would like to be able to use Decide Drag Drop and Design with your own Families especially your System family’s? The good news is we are currently working on a way to make this happen.
