Wood fence creation

[Anonymous]

Hi all. I need to create a wood post fence. Not sure how to start. With which elements in Revit could I create these?

Thanks

You can use the railing command and create a new type. The below video sort of outlines whats possible.

Create a new family (e.g. Generic Model). In the new family you can create extrusions (or sweeps) for the planks and posts.

You can change the category to better suit your project. Further you have to decide how your fence is going to be used. Think about if you need it to be parametric (e.g. quantity of planks/post, height, width, material). Also what you need from it later down the road (e.g. scheduling).

If you are not (yet) familiar with creating families you will have some studing to do. A good starting point is the Revit family huide, HERE.
