Has anyone been able to get any of the big manufacturers to make families of their different equipment? I know there are a lot of toilets and sinks and stuff but I need some full on Mechanical rooftop units. The small boxes that come with Revit just arent cutting it when i am trying to describe to an Architect why he doesnt have enough room on the roof to put skylights because my rooftop will be there.

I called my Trane and Aaon sales reps and they didnt even know how to spell Revit let alone know what a family was. has anyone else been able to either make some families or find a site where someone else spent the time to make some?? I have to this point just made a family and imported an AutoCad 3d file of the unit but it has no intelegence and I cant modify it at all...

Not yet, they are slow on the ball as Revit Systems/MEP is still fairly new....

If you click on manufacturer's, there is a list of companies that are providing families. Bookmark this page and come back to it in the future for updates.

For us, we are doing a lot of outsourcing for family content creation....
