When creating a family can it be assembled from multiple parts?

[Anonymous]

   I am new to Revit and mainly use Auto Desk and Solid Works.  I want to create a wall mounted light fixture in 3 parts.

Diffuser, frame, and pan.  Can I make each part in a separate file and then assemble them inside the family?

In Solid Works each part of a 3-D object is made in a separate part file and then put together in an assembly file.

Yes. This is a very common approach. Do a Google search on nested families and parameters.

  I will do the search  and try it tomorrow at work on Monday.  Thanks
