Cabinets

[braddewald]

I have a trial version of Revit and it is amazing to say the least. It does almost exactly what I want to do. I successfully created a cabinet that can stretch to whatever width that I want. However, I need to be able to slice the cabinet door into angled sections so I can assign the different sections different materials (to make sure that the grain of the wood is running the right direction in the right spots....my clients are very demanding). Because the door is stretching depending on the width I assign, the sections that I need to separate will stretch too. I have been trying to accomplish this task...but to no avail. Any suggestions?

You are talking about making the doors parametric families. This is one of the most powerful things about Revit and there fore difficult to create.

 

I am sure it is not difficult for those who are good with creating parametric families but it takes some time.

 

You can always leave your door section pattern blank then draft grain pattern in section as needed.
