Railing Family

Hello,
as I am still kind of a amateur when it comes to Revit families I would like to ask a question before I get totally confused. I have never worked before with adaptive components/families (what doesn't mean I am not willing to), but I would like to perform Railing family that I could use in my projects quite similarly to how the basic railing families in revit works - by sketching its path. I wonder if it's possible to make it as a Family  - not as a Wall Type that I can copy (it doesn't really look too professional for me and I might would like to learn something new). The question is - if it's even possible, as I haven't found any good example in the Internet?

All the availble Railing Families were usually just projects with different wall types that you could copy to your project.

Thanks in advance for any advices that would help me starting!

I'm not certain exactly what you are looking for, but there are some sample railings on the Autodesk Seek site that would probably be a good place to start and get familiar with the various components in the railing family.

 

http://seek.autodesk.com/search.htm?prodid=autodesk:revit:2017:en/&q=railing+samples&globaldd=global...

 

There are other railings on seek also if you just do a search for railings rather than railing samples.

 

Since railings are system families, you will either need to open the railing file and use transfer project standards to bring them into your model, of select the railing from the file and copy it to the clipboard, switch back to your model (same session of Revit) and paste from the clipboard.

Thanks for answering, but I am not entirely sure if I understand "use transfer project standards" - how is this solution different from just copying?
Thanks also for the link - although the file available there is a project (.rvt), not a family (.rfa).

Sorry if I haven't made myself clear - I would like to do my own Railing family (.rfa). You say it's a system family and that's what I supposed it to be.

However I thought it might be possible to create a Family and use adaptive component option... :[

I will apologize in advance if this is information you already know...=)...but this may at least be helpful to other forum visitors....

 

Transfer project standards is for adding all system families of a category from one project to another...if you only need a couple of things then I use copy to clipboard...it's just two different processes is all....both work.

 

Since railings are system families, which means they can only exist in a project (rvt) or template (rte), not component families like a door or window (rfa), that is the only format that they can be saved in.

 

The components that are part of the railing are rfa files, so the baluster, post profiles, panels.

 

I'm not sure an adaptive component family is going to do what you want for a railing...but I don't know what are trying to do...so that is just an guess.

 

You could use a generic model line based family to simulate a railing, but that will only do straight lines.
