Everyday Revit (Day 253) - Adaptive Chain Family

[@nadeem006]

Too Cool to handle i would say for this ........ and you made this in 2020 version in the same year 2020 and that's another amazing thing .... Now its been three years and Never thought an adaptive family could be this much flexible for making a CHAIN family .... Thanks a million for making this beautiful tutorial video .......

[@Troy-Moses]

Thanks for introducing me to adaptive families... This channel has contents unmatched by any other.

[@septiand1082]

Cool... i dont even know that revit could do thing like this... thumbs up...

[@leben1841]

Your videos are usualy good and this one is absolutely awesome!!!

[@BINHE615]

Yes, I like this one too. Got the idea in shower and turns out great.

[@melfaraj4633]

Brilliant stuff! I am an architect and as such a chain may not be something I model with any regularity. But for goodness sake following this tutorial one can obtain such an in depth understanding of the the way Revit works at high levels and its intricacies that if mastered would help a great deal with modelling very complex buildings. What makes this particular tutorial so 'riveting' is the fact that the chain has been made 'adaptive' which throws such a light on the application of this brilliant concept in Revit. I Liked many of your tutorials and Subscribed to your channel!

[@BINHE615]

Thanks for your support and I'm glad that you find it helpful. I agree with you. When I was asked about this idea, I didn't think anyone should model this. But after I figured out the potential method in the shower (yes, I remember I drew this out on the shower screen), I found it not unreasonable (please excuse my vocabulary) anymore. It was the first time I found out that there are different options for the repeater. I learn new things every day as well. Let's keep studying. :)

[@jessie_8301]

Im just starting revit but i know what you mean you say you learn new things everyday. Im an autocad geek. I even write my own vlisp functions. Working with autocad in more than 2 decades, still i learn new things (and fine-tuning) almost everyday. The biggest thing i learned is I should have started learning Revit years ago!

[@DD-eq2bl]

Super cool! I love how you always show us how to use it in the project after modelling it! Also, I can imagine myself using this to add some little details in a shipyard / dockyard design! Thank you!!

[@08andrevt]

Thank you, thank you!

[@shwemaytheint1325]

Thank you. This is very helpful.

[@kj-uv7zr]

That's really good! I would like to adapt this technique into patio string lighting or Christmas lights for renderings. Thanks for the idea!

thanks very much

Youre a genius

[@Rant0n]

You earned my sub

Please could you share this family in Revit 2019 version at least please?

[@BINHE615]

I think it is from 2020. Try to model it yourself; it will be very rewarding, I believe.

[@santhorathi]

Well explained.

[@ВеентДумской]

Great lesson, but when I made this and load chain in my project, and I need 125 chains different length from ceiling "droped like rain" from it in interior, by design, Revit "died" it was so slow even on my Ryzen 32 cores, 128 GB memory, and 11 GB Nvidia RTX 1080...

[@BINHE615]

Yes, it is normal. Because each segment this chain family is an individual family and there are probably thousands of them in your file. I recommend you only use this if it is close to your camera, and only do simple extrusions for the rest of them.

[@ВеентДумской]

yes, I made chain invisible in draft viev,, it helps, but a little...

[@BINHE615]

You can probably try to change the profile from circle to square. What do you think?

[@ВеентДумской]

@@BINHE615 ok, I'll try that...

[@abdulwahid7451]

Awesome video, I am BIM Modeller and it's pretty helpful for me. I have one problem if you can help me to resolve it, I have one generic revit family and when I load it into the project I am not able to rotate it in section views. There are lots of solution on internet. Do you know any easy solution to do it better? Thank you for sharing

[@BINHE615]

The easiest way (or trick) is to change it to Mechanical Equipment (TBC) Or, try to uncheck the Always Vertical option. If it still doesn't work, you can check the Work Plane Based option if it is available, then place this family onto a proper work plane.

[@ribeeshtj4796]

GREAT

[@Lumeos19]

Once again awesome vídeo, watching your tutorials i have an idea about how to make a hammock, but i wanna know, how would You do it? Can You make a vídeo about it?

[@BINHE615]

You can model a hammock as a generic model, I'll do a quick video shortly.

fucking sleepy tutorial but u save my day sir

[@BINHE615]

So... it's a positive feedback, yes? ╰(*°▽°*)╯

[@davebillion]

I followed closely. Placed the chain into the model. I can't figure out how to adjust it after placing it. Can't click on the points and get the axis. Am I missing something?

[@BINHE615]

Maybe VV and tick the Mass?

[@padrej0se]

God damn

[@arroudabd5178]

Hi, Thank you sir for this tutorial, but in ...in 5:44 when i move the point, the otrhers segment dont folow ... Why it dosnt work for me 😵 !!!

[@BINHE615]

You need to go back to roughly 2:20, place those points on that point using Draw on Work Plane.

[@arroudabd5178]

​@@BINHE615 Thank you very much, for your response, all your contents are intersting, i ll folow your videos dailly from the biggening .

Should be my wife, giving me a plate of nuts for my beer. :)

Hello how to change material ?

[@BINHE615]

Edit the adaptive family and change the material there.

[@minhducpham6332]

Can I add " an adaptive family into a family " tks u

[@BINHE615]

You can only nest an adaptive family in another adaptive family, or a conceptual mass.

I CAN'T ROTATE THE REFERENCE POINT!!!

[@BINHE615]

To rotate a reference point, you need to place it on a reference line using Place on Face.
