Revit Part Function Design Floor
1. Begin by designing the floor tile shape in CAD. Make sure to include only the lines, paying close attention to the precise dimensions. Avoid adding any extra elements such as dimension annotations in the CAD file.
2. Using the dimensions from the CAD drawing, create a floor slab in Revit with a surface layer that matches the size. Duplicate the floor slab type and rename it to represent the tile shape. Then, use the Create Part command to generate the tile parts in both plan and 3D views.
3. Select the graphic element, click the Create Part button, and then use the Split Part command. Enter the “Modify/Partition” mode and switch to Sketch mode.
4. Click “Edit Sketch.” Once inside, set the work plane by selecting the surface of the floor slab. Import the prepared CAD file while still in sketch editing mode. Note: The CAD import must be done during the sketch edit phase.
5. Move and align the imported sketch within the plan view, then complete the operation. Note: Parts will not display in their modified form in the plan view, but instead will show their original state.
6. In the 3D view, select the part you want to modify. Uncheck the original material classification and assign the new material accordingly.
7. Proceed with replication. Note: The visibility settings of parts cannot be copied. Before copying, make sure to reset the part’s visibility to its original state.
