Customized Window Family

Now this is where the project enters my favorite phase of design in Revit. Creating customized families in the project to suit your needs. The great thing about Revit families are that they can be as simple or complex as your heart desires. Considering that I'm working on this project with a team of individuals for senior design, I've received several requests for discipline specific families.
The first family that I embarked upon involved a rather complex window. This window contains a 1' operable section, a 3' viewing section, a 3' daylighting section, and a 2' light shelf below the daylighting window section. I started this family by using one of the families that Revit contained in its "Imperial Library" called "Instance Fixed". The term instance in Revit typically signals that a family won't be locked into its shape. In the case of this particular window, you can adjust the width right in your normal floor plan view of the project.
