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.
