Revit Families

My team and I are creating the best Revit families for interior designers, but who's going to find out if we don't share our story?

So, let me tell you how it all started:

1. Just two weeks after switching from AutoCAD to Revit, I hit a wall. For my electrical plan, I couldn't find any families for outlets, switches, or other fixtures like intercoms, security cameras, fans, and so on.

2. The project was on a tight deadline - as they all are - so I had to think fast. I quickly drew some basic 2D symbols for the outlets and placed them in the project. It worked for the plan view, but for sections, I needed actual 3D geometry, not just symbols. I buckled down, put in the work, and that’s how the first version, «Socket v.1» was born.

3. A few months later, I improved it and released it for free, because I knew I couldn't be the only one facing this problem. A couple of years later, that family had become what is probably the most popular socket/outlet family out there.

4. I realized I genuinely loved developing families, so at a certain point, I decided to dedicate myself to it full-time. I completely overhauled the socket family and released a premium, paid version.

5. Kitchens came next. It's another essential family set for interior design, and I had never once found a kitchen family that fully satisfied my needs.

6. I knew I couldn't achieve as much alone as I could with a team, especially since I had set an ambitious goal for myself: to cover 90% of an interior designer's needs for Revit families. So, I started reaching out to other developers who were as passionate about Revit family creation as I was.

That’s how our Wardrobes, Plumbing & Sanitary Ware, Lighting, and all the other families came to be. Together, they now form our complete interior design set: «All Revit Families Set 20».

Today, my main mission is to show just how convenient and high-quality our families are compared to the rest. We pour so much effort and love into every single one. That’s why I’m writing this post, hoping for your feedback and support.

I know that interior designers all over the world spend an unacceptable amount of time hunting for families and adapting them for their projects - time that could be spent on creativity itself.

That's why, in 2024, we developed a Revit plugin we call BIMCORE. We hope it will become the core of your team's interior BIM system.

Right now, the plugin provides access to all our families, but we are already planning to add more features to automate routine processes in Revit.
