Autodesk Revit 2010 – Parametric Louver System Part 4
Software: Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010
Description: In this Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 video tutorial, we will create a shared parameter to generate a curtain panel schedule that drives the spacing of the louvers. Creating this shared parameter system is essential to this process as it enables our louvers to be scheduled and driven quickly from a schedule. This is the fourth and final video in a series of tutorial that explains the process of creating parametric families within Revit.
Topics Covered:
- Creating shared parameters and relationships
- Driving parameters through scheduling
- Using to inform and further design

Another great set of tutorials.
I was trying to make the facade of the Wyly Theatre in Dallas, TX similarly as you presented within the tutorial, but had a question about population the louvers within the panel system. I believe there are six different panels with six different extrusions (on the Wyly facade) and I wanted to make only one extrusion, populate the panel system family, but then be able to change the diameter parameters since each extrusion varies. I could not figure that out and had to make six different extrusions (seperate families) then load each one with the panel system family. Do you know of a way to create only one extrusion and then be able to modify the parameters to change diameters after the array?

I really like your blog and i respect your work. I’ll be a frequent visitor.
great tutorials. I guess, Parametric facade modeling will be a great asset of Revit in the future. Worth to invest on it.
Great Tutorial~! Many thanks to it~!
Learned so much from it. Thanks!
You make it look so easy, thanks for explaining this louver things are a pain to model.
I was impressed what you do. It is just amazing. And I learned a lot of course!
Thanks for the videos!
one question: How do I go about assigning parameters to the louvers as instances so that I can change the material of the louvers panel by panel?
Brilliant tutorials - it easily explains the makeup of curtain wall panelling that has taken me ages to figure out.
just brilliant
Thanks that was a very informative tutorial and so easy to follow.
That was very helpful, thank you so much.
Thanks!
These are very good indeed. I am new to the whole parametric thing and these have helped me get my ageing brain around the concept. If you have a little more time to spend could you possibly add a bit on driving the angular tilt of the louvres (uk spelling). Not that we get too much sun where I live, but you never know. Thanks for the time you put in.
Thanks for the feedback. I ‘ll try and post a video just on the topic of angle parameters.
Superb posting. I like your web site, and Please update it more frequently.
