Response to Probe 4

Paul Aubin’s guide to Revit families was very helpful and saved a great deal of frustration.  While I found understanding reference planes, constraints, and parameters to be relatively straightforward, I really benefited from the explanation of nesting.  The single most helpful part of this document is the chart distinguishing the relationships between various Revit elements.  Since I am a very visual person, the tree provided a comprehensive yet straightforward view of all the parts within the program.  Furthermore, for similar reasons, I appreciate the screenshot included with step-by-step instructions.

While my resulting project is somewhat simple, creating it was definitely a learning process. Since I have gained a better understanding of this aspect of Revit, I hope to design something more complex next time around.
