I was just bouncing an idea around the cube farm, and maybe some of you might be interested in this conversation as well. Do you think that AutoDesk would release a Freeware Family Creator for Revit? My thought would be that anyone could download this Revit software, create and save only families with it. It would, in my opinion, create a lot of content for the Revit community. You wouldn't/shouldn't be able to create projects or plans, and would create a great tool for people to get excited about Revit. I know I would download it at home, and create content there. Probably have it save back to the web, so people couldn’t squirrel content anyway on their personal machines, and not share with the world. Credit would be given to the content generators, and people in the community could rank useful content. Maybe a highlights page could be built to display the top 10 families of the week.
Please let me know what you all think of this idea.
