3D Models / Revit

Yes, all the zip files on the Product Categories page contain individual Revit families and associated type catalog text files for selecting the product types you want to work with. When loading the family components you can select a few type sizes or all of them.

The Revit family files have been converted to Revit Architecture 2011 in October of 2011. Families can be loaded into Revit 2011 or later. If you need families for Revit 2010 or 2009, email cadpack@hermanmiller.com to request these versions.

Text placed on tiles was drawn as model text and displays on the Fine Detail Level for 3D and Elevation Views. To turn this text off, edit the Visibility/Graphic Overrides of the desired View.  Expand categories for either Casework or Furniture Systems and uncheck visibility for “Tile Text”.

Typical files that are saved as project files (.rvt) contain multiple typicals saved as groups, schedule of product parts for each typical, and individual family components loaded with all product types.

Yes. Revit requires the family file, type catalog text file, and project files to be extracted from the zip file before opening in Revit.

The View Properties needs the View Range edited to increase the Cut Plane Offset. We recommend changing the offset height to be the same as the Top Offset.

Material jpgs loaded into a family are delivered with the product category zip file to be easily re-associated.  Additionally, two image sizes are offered for tiled material jpg files – T20 and T150 for pixel size. Save the material zip file to your local drive or network. When in a project file, reload jpg file for each material.

No, only families that use fabric materials use image files. Most materials display with RGB values.

We continue to add products and typicals to Revit Families and display a date when the files were last updated. Please check back often for new updates.
