Custom Furniture or bespoke elements

jinergoh721 — Sat, 30 Apr 2022 03:09:59 GMT

Hi all,

I know the easiest way is to Place a component> Load from family.

But for more advance one, for example if we want to design a storage space under a bed, and customize shelves, is there any way to do it in revit? Or must use Autocad?

See attached files, I saw got a CAD program quite handy to use when it comes to furniture, but not sure which is it.

How to model this (up^^^^ ) in revit?

Thanks,

JIn 😄

Have a nice weekend everybody, ill probably not.

Revit is really dumb when it comes to freeform, correct me if I am wrong.

What do you mean "free form"?

I think you need to look into how to create your own families. That way you can model this bed, and anything else you want, and save them for future use.

Here is an example. You can see how they model it.
