FAR Designer and Type Catalog

The FAR Designer was developed with the intention to help design Parameters including their values and equations within your Revit Families. We have also added the ability to create Type Catalogs and manage the Type Catalogs more efficiently including the ability to take the Type Catalog and rebuild all of the Types in the Family. The ability to print out your Parameters should help with the ‘checking and approval’ process.

We developed the FAR Designer around the FAR technology which is built to run within a project file. You must have the FAR Manager installed on your computer to use the FAR Designer.

There are three sections to the FAR designer:

• Family Reviewer

The Family Reviewer

The Family Reviewer will:

• Show you the Parameters within their groupings along with their values and any equations.
• Allow you to print or save to a rich text file which can be opened as a Word document.

The Family Editor

The Family Editor allows you to:

• Define which Parameters are within the Type Catalog.
• Change the values of the Parameters.
• Add or Remove the Parameters.
• Rename the name of the Parameters.
  

Type Catalog Viewer

The Type Catalog Viewer:

• A viewer that shows what will be in the Type Catalog after it has been saved.
