How to Use Railing Families as Lane Guardrails and Road Dividers in Revit
When working on road and bridge projects, it is essential to install protective barriers and road dividers on certain highways and bridge decks. But how should this be done effectively? In this guide, we will demonstrate how to conveniently place protective fences and road dividers using a simple case study. Below is a brief overview.
1. First, create a railing outline family for the protective fence. Save it and name it “Guardrail,” as shown in the image.
2. Next, start a new project and load the previously created railing outline family into it. Locate the railing family in the project browser. Copy one of the top railing types and rename it to “Guardrail,” as illustrated in the image.
3. Double-click to open the “Guardrail” family. At the top of the pop-up window, open the “Type Properties” dialog box. Modify the railing profile by assigning the newly created “Guardrail” outline family. Adjust the guardrail height as shown in the image.
4. Finally, edit the position of the railing according to the diagram provided.
Final Result:
By following the steps above, you will understand that during a project, components such as guardrails can be replaced with railing components in Revit for easier modeling. Through adjusting the position and profile of railings, it is possible to create various shapes of railing components tailored to your design needs.
