What are the three types of families in Autodesk Revit?
Answer: System, Loadable, and In-Place
Revit families are classified as System Families (walls, floors), Loadable Families (doors, furniture), and In-Place Families (unique one-off geometry).
What file extension is used for a Revit Loadable Family?
Answer: .rfa
Loadable Families are saved as .rfa files, which can be loaded into any Revit project or template.
In the Revit Family Editor, what are 'Reference Planes' used for?
Answer: Providing construction lines and hosting geometry and dimensions for parametric control
Reference Planes in the Family Editor serve as construction lines that host dimensions and constrain geometry to enable parametric behavior.
What is a 'Type Parameter' in a Revit family?
Answer: A parameter that is shared across all instances of the same family type
Type Parameters are shared by all instances of the same family type, so changing the value affects every placed instance of that type simultaneously.
What is an 'Instance Parameter' in a Revit family?
Answer: A parameter that can be set individually for each placed instance
Instance Parameters can be set independently on each individual element placed in the model, allowing variation between identical type placements.
Which Revit family category would you use for a custom furniture piece?

The Furniture category is specifically designed for desks, chairs, tables, and other furniture items in a Revit project.
