Create a Revit Parametric Parapet Box Gutter Profile Family.

[@8020BIM]

🌟 Hey Everyone - Just a few notes on the Video. 🌟 1) When Drawing the profile you can draw directly onto the Reference planes and the association will be retained. The reason I laboured with the line-by-line alignment method in this tutorial is to stress the importance of ensuring that the profile lines are correctly associated the reference planes so that the family will flex correctly with the type parameter value alterations.

I am relearning how to use Revit the proper way after I started following you. Being a junior architect, most of the knowledge i accumulated served me during my student years, but now I realized the majority of what i learned and used isn't necessarily taking advantage of what makes Revit a formidable tool for architects ( Families/Parametric features/dynamo/interoperability with other softwares, etc). Thanks to channels like yours and other great Revit masters out there, i am improving my understanding of the software and how i can exploit the best features it offers. Please keep making great content !

Thank you very much for your kind words. Glad I can, in some small way, set you on the trajectory which you are pursuing. I deeply appreciate the warm feedback, thanks for taking the time to leave it. I will continue, don't worry 😊 Niall

@8020 BIM your tutorials are far from superficial, as once I tell people who want to learn Revit, I say their is a profession or software must first master the craft for the master, as it is the mastery of millers little thing to end up with the thing, Thanks again Naill

Thank you for your comment Ben, I Agree entirely - people who know their discipline well will be better modellers without a doubt. Niall

BRILLIANT tutorial! Perfect pace and description, cheers

Thanks for the positive feedback Marc. If you need a Parapet Cap while you are at it I actually just uploaded a video with it earlier today which you might get some value out of. Thanks again, Niall

box gutters are stupid stop adding them to buildings , you want a gutter that sits outside and if it leaks it overflows on to the ground , in 10 years after a box gutter rusts out and start leaking inside your home , you will need to remove the capping to replace it (big job), instead on just taking the gutter off and putting a new gutter on , so please make a house look good with out a box gutter,

This is an industrial building context, not domestic. I agree box gutters tend to perform poorly in a domestic setting. In this instance they are very appropriate. They can be made of materials other than steel also to prevent the rust problem you listed, for example a composite deck roof construction would use an integrated cast concrete gutter, which would then be wrapped as a constant with the roofing material of choice, so it remains as water tight on average as the overall roof construction. Just one example of where they are appropriate, but there are many more.
