By using a fixed categorization structure in Revit you re able to quickly identify elements control their visibility and graphics and generate reports based on this information. The data is highly structured but you have tremendous liberty when it comes to the representation of that data. This flexibility lets you have as many views as you want and or need to convey your design intent. Every view is a filtered graphical representation of an underlying database and you re free to make as many views as you deem necessary. The sooner you embrace this concept and start exploring the opportunities it presents the better. If you can t get your drawing to look just right chances are you just haven t dug deep enough. Throughout this book we ll give you more suggestions and techniques that we hope will inspire you to go that extra mile and start thinking outside the box. In this chapter you ll learn the fundamental principles of Revit parametric elements and how data is organized in Revit. You ll also get an overview of the graphical user interface and walk through the basics of selection and object manipulation. In this chapter you ll learn how to do the following Work with and understand Revit parametric elements Use the Revit user interface Use the Project Browser Navigate views and view properties Working with Revit Parametric Elements Every element in Revit is considered a family and each family belongs to a category. Figure shows the basic Revit object model. In this section we ll discuss how Revit organizes all these families into categories and why this makes sense from a workflow and consistency point of view.
