Software : Revit Architecture
Level : Beginner
Description : This tutorial covers the different methods of creating 3d geometry in Revit. I explain the pro and cons of using solid extrusion, Blend, Revolve, and sweep. These are explained within a massing object but apply to all families.
Software : Revit Architecture
Description : This tutorial covers how to make face based families, change a family category, and make voids. face based families are pretty handy for a few reasons. a big one though is that they do do delete when you erase the host object (this is not the case with wall based and floor based) Also they are easy to move around, re-host and rotate.

Category : 3d Modeling, Curtain Panels
Description : This tutorial covers how to add angle parameters. In this case we put them in a curtain panel to break from such an orthogonal grid. Here are they a tilted mullions but one could imagine using a curtain system just and a construction grid then using face based families for more complex systems on top of the grid.

Category : 3d Modeling
Description : This is a tutorial i learned from watching Phil Read at Autodesk University. Using curtain panels in Revit we create an undulating hexagon panel that can be hosted by a curtain system. I cover adding parameters and well as using reference planes and picking work planes.
Design ReForm is meant to be a source of information for the integration of design and technology. The ambition of Design Reform is to publish tutorials and explorations in parametric modeling with software such as 3ds Max, Revit, Maya, and Rhino.
