9:00 AM - 10:15 AM	Size Matters: Learn to Scale Families in Revit Part 1 Speaker: Marcello Sgambelluri If you think this class is just about scaling families, think again! This class is jam packed with methods on how to scale, of course, but also how to morph families and how to model, from scratch, complex families including the Revit Cow and the Revit Pumpkin. There is so much content in this class that it had to be divided into two Parts! Part 1 of this class will present how to scale families using two scaling methods. The first scaling method will use characteristics of a spline. The second method will use a planting family. Part 1 will also use the Revit Cow and other families as examples; therefore Part 1 will also show how to model the Revit Cow. Part 2 of this class will present how to scale families using two more scaling methods. The first method in this class will use characteristics of the adaptive component points. The last method will use points hosted onto curves. Part 2 will also set up the framework to morph a family in Revit since morphing a family is just the flip side of scaling a family in Revit it’s easy to do! The Revit Pumpkin will be used as one of the examples of how to scale and morph a family and therefore Part 2 will also show how to model the Revit Pumpkin. You do not need to attend both sessions however the methods presented in these lectures will be simple, efficient, practical, unique and fun! Key Learning Outcomes: 1. Learn scaling methods 1 and 2 and learn how and when and why to apply them to different types of families 2.
