FIGURE 1.54 Each family .rfa file will contain multiple types associated
with that family.
FIGURE 1.55 Inserting a hosted family (.rfa)
You will be using this method of inserting a hosted family into a model quite a
bit in this book and on a daily basis when you use Revit. Note that when a family
is loaded into Revit Architecture, there is no live path back to the fi le that was
loaded. Once it is added to the Revit model, it becomes part of that model. To
view a list of the families within the Revit model, go to the Project Browser and
look for the Families category. In the Families category, you will see a list of the
families and their types, as Figure 1.56 shows.
The two main Revit fi les have been addressed. Two others are still crucial to
the development of a Revit model.
