Creating a Mass Family
You can create masses within a project (in-place masses) or outside a project (loadable mass families). In-place
masses are used for mass forms that are unique to a project. Loadable mass families are typically used when
you will be placing multiple instances of the mass in a project, or when you will use mass families in multiple
projects.
To create in-place masses and loadable mass families, use the conceptual design environment. You can nest
other mass families into the mass family that you are creating. (See
Conceptual Design Environment on
page 527.)
If you are importing geometry into a family, see Considerations for Imported Geometry in Mass or Generic
Model Families on page 626.
Creating an In-Place Mass
1 Click Massing & Site tab
➤
Conceptual Mass panel
➤
In-Place Mass.
In order to create a mass, Show Mass mode must be activated. If Show Mass mode is not activated when you
click In-Place Mass, Revit Architecture activates it for you.
2 Enter a name for the in-place mass family, and click OK.
3 Create the desired shapes using the tools on the Draw panel. See Forms on page 551.
4 When you are finished, click Finish Mass.
