Greetings All,
I downloaded and installed the trial version of Revit 2021. After using a tutorial to play with it I found many of the families had not been installed. I downloaded and installed the set from the Revit download page, but it's missing elevators. My understanding was it used to be there, now it doesn't seem to be. I don't want to be going to a third party to install their product when an Autodesk Revit model exists. Or used to exist.
Did I miss something or is there a separate area on Autodesk to download the elevators?
Solved! Go to Solution.
There's no "Elevator" Families OOTB. I'm not even sure what an "Elevator" Family is. Is it a Family that moves up and down?
Perhaps I'm using the wrong term. There's a group for doors, a group for stairs, railings, floors, ducts, pipes, etc. I thought these were called families. To insert a door or stair into a model you had to load the group into the model and select the style of door, stair, or whatever. I want to insert an elevator and there's no group for it, nor can I find a download for it here.
yah, I'm not following you too well.
What's an elevator? A platform or compartment housed in a shaft for raising and lowering people or things to different floors or levels. Right?
Try this...
I wouldn't be bashful about downloading content from on-line. Thank your lucky stars that you found it on-line. That means you can cut out early and go have a beer with the gang.
Here's another...
I assume you are referring to Specialty Equipment>Elevators and Lifts.
Thanks for posting this question--I couldn't find it either. It's missing from 'English-Imperial'>Specialty Equipment, but can be found under the more generic 'English'>Specialty Equipment category.
Do you have an "English" and "English-Imperial" folder under C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT 2021\Templates?
Maybe you didn't download it.

Did you notice that @syman2000 posted the content for you in a ZIP file? Nice of him to do so. Don't you agree?
Hello,
there are just some basic elevator families in Revit. Btw, there is a very powerful and the free #elevator #plugin for Revit "DigiPara Elevatorarchitect" available at:

Hope that helps,
Andreas
We also have some elevator options for you as well: free elevator revit families .
I hope one will help you out. 🙂
