This video demonstrates how to place a family element in a project and view the properties for the element.

00:09

All of the elements in a project are families.

00:13

A family contains the graphic information, plan, elevation section, and 3D views used for an element.

00:21

When you place a model family into a project, the family displays in all views of the model.

00:28

Revit includes a library of content from which you select families and load them into your project.

00:39

Usually you can replace a family with a different family by using the type selector on the properties palette.

00:47

The families also contain non graphic information in the properties of the element.

00:53

When an element is selected, instance properties display on the Properties palette.

00:59

Instance properties contain information related to that specific instance of the element in the model.

01:07

The type properties of a family are applied to all of the elements of the same type in the model.

01:13

Create a new family type by duplicating an existing type and making changes to the properties.

01:21

Use the instance and type properties of families to specify and track information about the elements in your project.
