Kitchen Counters with Revit LT
How do I create a new family of counters (straight, u-shaped, etc) with parameters in Revit LT? I don't know how to get to the Family Editor without first establishing a family inside, say Furniture, then adding it to my project, THEN editing it to add the parameters. By then, I am out of the extrusion and cannot attach my parameters to the sketch. I'm new and am sure I am missing something. Any advice so appreciated. Thank you.

No.
We are talking about a Kitchen Bench here
They come on all different shapes & sizes
Waterfall edge here & there
We only need a "Mass" Type of Bench, so we use Floors. Easy to Edit etc.
More Detailed Kitchens - Then Yes a Specific Family would be best
We use a Generic Model Counter top - That was we can add 2 of them together & they heal using Join GeometeryDwaneComment

Once we got Filters I stopped worrying about categorizing objects. Roofs for Floors. Floors for Roofs. Either for hardscape. Fascia for wall base. Curtain Assemblies for Ceilings. The list goes on.Originally posted by elton williams View Post
I wouldn't use a Floor for most counters because it's harder to ensure consistency in depth but splashes, aprons, and waterfalls could all be done with Slab Edges. Could be a one stop shop in terms of the toolset (win for me).
