Add accessories to a family, select the accessories I want in the schedule later on

Please forgive a newbie for asking what might seem as easy stuff. To me this is difficult:Gesicht_mit_rollenden_Augen:!

 

I want to do this:

-Make a family, say "recessed downlight".

-Make types, say "white finish" and "black finish".

-Add accessories, like "driver 350mA" and "driver 500mA" in order to choose the driver I need in the Lighting fixture schedule later on.

 

As of now, I dont need the driver to show in the Revit Model - I just want to be able to select it in the Schedule in order to get a complete and correct equipment list.

 

Hoping for some clearifying answers:grinsendes_Gesicht_mit_lächelnden_Augen:!

If you don't need it modeled, and it is just information, then put that information into one of the in-built Identity Parameters of the Family Type. All those Parameter Fields are available to Schedules.  Additionally, there are in-built Instance Parameters that all Families have when place in a Project, such as "Comments" and "Mark".  Those are also available Parameter Fields in Schedules.

Hi, Martjin

Thank you for answering. I guess this has to do with parameters and maybe nested families. 

I think what I am looking for, is a schedule were the differerent accessories are listed along with the component itself - and that I can toggle the different accessories on or off as I want. I nearly made it yesterday:). If I succeed or nearly succeed I will post a file to show what I have done!

Hi, Barthbradley!

Thank you for answering. It seems to me that I must use parameters as you say, but I also think I need nested families, that I need to nest the drivers and other accessories into the components I am making. I am a lighting designer and the components in questions are mostly luminaires with drivers, filters and such. The goal is to end up with a schedule where everything is specified and priced. I would like the accessories to appear as a dropdown menu or similar, something like this:

That would be done by way of Nesting Shared Families into Host Families.

Look into Family Type Parameters.  They would be perfect for this.
