Revit Tutorial - Creating a Custom Pipe Shoe: Step-by-Step Guide for T-Post & L-Profile Designs.
Part 1.8 - Piping Modeling - Revit Tutorial - Primary Support - Pipe Shoe
https://www.pipeex.org/
Welcome to today’s tutorial on creating a custom pipe shoe family in Autodesk Revit! In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through building a versatile pipe shoe that includes two different designs: a T-post for smaller pipe sizes and an L-profile for larger diameters. By the end of this video, you’ll have a single Revit family that can adapt to various pipe sizes and configurations, making it a valuable asset for your piping and mechanical projects.
We’re using the Dutra Max catalog as our reference for dimensions and specifications, ensuring industry-standard precision. This tutorial is ideal for beginners and experienced Revit users looking to expand their skills in family creation and parameter linking. Let’s jump in and start building!
0:00 Introduction
0:19 Pipe shoe family goals and two support types
1:07 Create the T-post subfamily
1:43 Add reference planes and dimensions for the T-post
2:38 Model the T-post geometry with an extrusion
3:12 Start the L-profile subfamily
3:25 Add reference planes for the L-profile dimensions
4:05 Model the two L profiles
4:20 Add length controls and reinforcement plate references
4:56 Start the main pipe shoe family
5:05 Load the T-post, L-profile, and clamp families
5:26 Position and align the clamps
5:50 Adjust clamp angle in front view
6:11 Fix the clamp reference plane issue
6:48 Add shared and dimensional properties
7:15 Add the offset property for profile placement
7:35 Load and connect the lookup table
8:13 Link lookup properties to the loaded profiles
8:38 Add the clamp rotation condition
8:56 Add visibility logic for T-profile vs L-profile
9:37 Fine-tune dimensions from the vendor catalog
10:03 Update the L-profile with an extra reference plane
10:40 Reload the updated table and add missing properties
11:40 Extend the clamp family up to DN700
12:14 Important family type parameter naming rule
12:35 Add connectors and set them to Global
13:10 Fix the family category to Pipe Accessories
13:25 Adjust connectors to prevent rotation after insertion
13:37 Test dynamic size changes
14:03 Bug warning: family type parameter naming conflict
