Custom Revit Families Creation

High-Performance Parametric BIM Content

Building intelligent, standard-compliant, and lightweight Revit Families (RFA) for manufacturers, architects, and engineers.

The Importance of "Smart" Families

A BIM model is only as good as the components inside it. At Scanotrek, we specialize in creating custom Revit Families that are more than just 3D shapes. Our families are data-rich, parametric, and optimized to ensure they don't slow down your project files while providing all the technical data needed for scheduling and fabrication.

Our Family Creation Services

  1. Architectural Families
  • Technical Detail: Custom doors, windows, curtain walls, and specialized furniture.
  • The Benefit: Fully parametric components that allow users to change dimensions, materials, and visibility settings with a single click.
  1. MEP & HVAC Components
  • Technical Detail: Modelling of pumps, chillers, air handling units (AHUs), electrical panels, and plumbing fixtures with intelligent connectors.
  • The Benefit: Built-in “Connectors” that automatically link to ductwork and piping systems, enabling accurate flow calculations and pressure drop analysis.
  1. Structural Families
  • Technical Detail: Custom steel sections, trusses, pre-cast concrete members, and complex foundation systems.
  • The Benefit: Accurate structural representations that follow real-world engineering profiles and material strengths.
  1. Manufacturer Content (BIM Catalogues)
  • Technical Detail: Converting product catalogues into high-quality Revit Families for manufacturers.
  • The Benefit: Helps manufacturers get their products specified by architects and engineers in the early design phases.

Smart BIM Content for High-Tech Medical Infrastructure

Medical Equipment Families (Healthcare BIM)

We design "intelligent" Revit Families for complex medical devices, ensuring they meet the rigorous spatial and technical requirements of modern healthcare facilities.

Key Features of Our Medical Families:

  1. Operational & Maintenance Clearances: Built-in "invisible" 3D zones that ensure MRI, CT Scans, and X-ray units have the required space for patient access and technician maintenance.
  2. Integrated MEP Connectors: Intelligent points for specialized medical gases, high-voltage electrical feeds, and dedicated cooling systems.
  3. Nested Complexity: Families that include both the main equipment and its associated peripherals (e.g., control consoles, cooling units, and mounting rails).
  4. Radiation & Shielding Data: Integration of metadata regarding equipment weight and radiation output to assist structural and safety engineers.

Equipment Types We Model:

Imaging Systems

MRI, CT, PET, and X-Ray units with precise gantry and table movements.

Surgical Suites

Operating tables, surgical lights, and ceiling-mounted medical pendants.

Patient Care

Dialysis machines, ventilators, and specialized hospital beds.

Laboratory Gear

Centrifuges, bio-safety cabinets, and diagnostic analyzers.

Technical Benefits for Healthcare Clients

Conflict-Free Planning:

Prevent expensive on-site modifications by verifying equipment fitment in the digital phase.

Accurate Load Data:

Built-in parameters for equipment weight help structural engineers design floor slabs for heavy imaging machinery.

Manufacturer-Specific Accuracy:

We build families based on exact manufacturer spec sheets (e.g., GE, Siemens, Philips), ensuring 1:1 physical and technical accuracy.

Technical Standards & Quality

We ensure every family we build meets professional BIM standards:

  1. LOD 200 to 500: Tailored detail levels, from schematic representations to fabrication-ready components.
  2. Parametric Flexibility: Elements that adjust intelligently to project constraints.
  3. Lightweight Geometry: Optimized modelling techniques to prevent file bloating and lag.
  4. Standardized Naming: Following AIA, RIBA, or client-specific naming conventions for easy organization.
The Scanotrek Advantage
  • 15 Years of Revit Mastery: We understand the complex logic behind "Nested Families" and "Shared Parameters."
  • Data-Driven: Our families include metadata for COBie, facility management, and Bill of Quantities (BOQ).
  • Software Compatibility: Families are built and tested across multiple Revit versions (2020–2026) to ensure cross-platform stability.
