Revit Family with Text file

(1/3) > >>

VirtualPilot:
AO Smith is now offering their Water Heaters in REVIT,

I downloaded the one I need and it is a .RFA file and a text file, the text file has information on all of their water heaters for this model, BHT, when I open the .rfa in REVIT is for the smaller model made, how do I import the information on the text so that the model changes to the right dimensions of the one I need???

Yeah...REVIT newbee...

bknapton:
I believe the text file needs to get placed here, C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RME 2012\Lookup Tables.
depending on your version of Revit and OS this may be different

VirtualPilot:
Then, how do you apply the table to the model after doing that?

bparrell:
You load the family from the insert tab.Off to the left you'll see families....scroll dn to you see mechanical equipment.pick it and you should see all the entries

VirtualPilot:
I did it by:

IMPORT FAMILY TYPE - Reads the .txt files, then

FAMILY TYPE - scroll the the size equipment you need...

Dang! I need a REVIT intro course bad....

You can sit me in my new Boeing 737-800 airplane simulator with a cold and dark (read, all systems off) cockpit and I can take it from that to flight ready and fly from , say, Atlanta KATL to Miami KMIA and land the darn thing all in a perfect flight, but sit me in front of REVIT and I am like ....huh???   :D :D :D
