Family Editor Tabs
The tabs in the Family Editor environment differ from those in the project fi le environment.
When you open a family fi le, the tabs on the ribbon contain some familiar tools, but many of
them are specifi c to the creation and modi cation of family components. The tabs available in
the Family Editor environment are as follows:
Home The Home tab in the Family Editor environment contains tools for creating
solid geometry and lines, adding system connectors, and creating and managing
references.
Insert The Insert tab in the Family Editor environment contains tools for bringing other
les into your family fi le. The tools for linking are visible but disabled, because importing is
the only available method for bringing a CAD fi le into your Revit family fi le.
