In this video, Shaun Bryant explains how changing text fonts and sizes in a Revit family type can be useful
- [Instructor] We're staying in…the DETAIL 001 Parapet Detail view…in our OFFICE_Reception Area.rvt file.…And what we're going to look at now are those family types…that we looked at in the previous video.…So, we're going to look at…creating some new text, some new family types…that have different fonts and different sizes.…At the moment our text in our Parapet Detail…is using one of the default Revit fonts and heights,…which is Arial 2.5mm high.…So, that's one of the defaults that you get…whenever you start a blank Revit project…and start creating from scratch.…
Now, the benefit you've got is, obviously,…before you start creating any Revit project,…you could set up a Revit template.…And it could have all of these system families in it.…You just save it back as a template…in the same way you would in AutoCAD.…You take a drawing, set all the settings up,…save it as a DWT file.…You can do the same with Revit…and save it back as a Revit template.…So that all of those system families…are in place every time you start a new project.…
