Author: Peter Gehring, Synergis Director of Building Solutions

Details: Did you ever notice that the content provided with Revit Architecture tends to shy away from how manufacturers offer their product? Take a door for example. A manufacturer offers a variety of sizes. A Revit door Family also offers a variety of sizes. They are known as Types. The difference lies in the panel styles.

Date: June 2007
