Re-Posting my comment. New parametric object, with parameters and faced based model

With this object I added the use of metric generic model faced based family and parameters.

I kept the theme of a cardboard made object, this time designing in revit a coffe table. The original design was for a table, I adapted it to my needs. (p.1)

                                               (p.1)

This table is formed by three sub-family, that i reapet two times. So the families are: Tavolino - Famiglia Madre, Tavolino - Componente 1, Tavolino - Componente 2, Tavolino - Componente 3

As I did for the previous design I created a folder named "tavolino" in which I placed the mother family and the sub families (p.2)

(p.2)

I created the mother family with a GENERIC METRIC MODEL FACED BASED, in which through the REFERENCE PLANE I gave the main dimension of the coffe table. Hight and width (p.3 p.4)

p.3p.4

Then I created the sub-families as for the mother family I used a GENERIC METRIC MODEL FACEB BASED of the component of the table. I used the command EXTRUSION. Each component is a cilinder with a different ray in order to give movement to the design. It's important to notice that with this kind of family when is imported in the mother family you have to place it on a surface, the surface where is placed influences the way the object can be moved in the mother family. This time I added a parameter to the ray of the circled, I called it RAGGIO to keep it simple. Following the three components with each parameter (p.5,p.6,p.7)

p.5

p.6

p.7

Now after I have finished with the components of the table and added a parameter to each one of them it's time to put it in the mother family.

In order to place it in the correct way I started from the bottom up. I used a REFERENCE PLANE  and the command ALIGN  in order to have all the centers of the extruded cilinder bloked in one place. (p.8,p.9)

p.8

p.9

This coffe table has maximum diameter of 1 meter, now using the parameters I can create a coffe table of every dimension I want. For example I can have a maxium diameter of 2 meter and consquently the other 2 components will have a bigger diameter. To change the parameter I can simply double click on the family in the left side menu and a window with all the parameter will show up. (p.10)

p.10

Now I do the same things with the other two components and I have a different dimension coffe table but with the same design of the previous one. This was possible because I used the parameters. (p.11,p.12)
