Intuitive Millwork Drawings

I am curious about the most effective way to detail millwork in Revit.

Overall objective: create an intuitive and primarily drawn millwork detail once the family is brought into the model and easily be able to make the associated detail drawings.


From what we're familiar with, drafting views is how this is traditionally done however this involves drawing everything from scratch essentially. 

 

What I'm looking to do is make a set of millwork detail drawings just as an intuitive as a callout detail of a building section drawn with detail items.

 

Our plan was to make each millwork piece as a family, get that model to be as detailed as can be, including materials, and once it is imported into the project, having the ability to pull up elevations, sections, and detail plans relatively easily and place them on sheets.

Call out views accomplish some of this however each instance would need to be hidden on other sheets since you can't create a view template that only shows some types of elevations, sections, or callouts.

 

Any advice here?

Typically 2D Profiles are used in the Project to model geometry representing trim molding and what not -- if that LOD is actually modeled in the Project. We don't normally.  Is this what you are wanting to do; build a library of 2D Profile Families?  Maybe 2D Section Details?

Create detail families and nested them in the millwork families on the applicabke view direction such as plan, section. set them to show for Fine detail level. Or are you talking about build them into 3d?

We will build some parts in 3-d however the finer level of detail we want to use detail items for.  Nesting detail items may work... however once you bring the family into the model with the nested detail items, how can you get the millwork specific views? plan, section etc..  Making callout plans for each millwork peice I don't think would be ideal.

Are you modeling molding in the Family -- maybe as Line-Based or Adaptive Point driven geometry  -- for use in the Project?

We would model in the family.    What would be the best way to show detail drawings of this piece?  Meaning the cleanest way that won't populate random things on other sheets.  We want to base our drawings off of what is actually built and not draw everything from scratch on a drafting view.

I'm unclear about what you are modeling.  By definition, a millwork profile is two-dimensional.  As I said, moldings, trims, etc. are usually modeled via sweep extrusions using a profile.  They are not normally model components that are loaded and placed like doors or windows.

If you nested a detail family in a section view in the millwork family and set it to only show fro Fine detail level, then when you cut a section of the mill work in project and change the detail level to Fine, you will see the detail.  To create shops drawings like you described, use Assembly and Assembly views/sheets.

Yes.  Creating assemblies is what I need.  This will be amazing for millwork pieces that keep getting adjusted.  I can align and lock detail items lock to the model.  Thank you!
