How to Add an Interior Door to Existing Walls in Revit Family

Adding an interior door to an existing wall in Revit Family is a straightforward process that can be completed in a few simple steps. By following these steps, you can easily create a door opening and insert a door family into your Revit model.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

A Revit project with an existing wall
A door family loaded into the project

Step 1: Create a Door Opening in the Wall

Locate the wall where you want to add the door. Select the wall and click on the "Create Opening" tool from the Architecture tab.

Draw a rectangle on the wall to define the size and location of the door opening. The rectangle will be converted into a door opening.

Step 2: Insert the Door Family

Once the door opening is created, you can insert the door family. Select the "Insert" tab and click on the "Load Family" button.

Browse to the location of the door family and select it. Click "Open" to load the family into the project.

Step 3: Place the Door in the Opening

With the door family loaded, select the door opening. Click on the "Edit Family" button to open the door family editor.

In the family editor, select the door object and click on the "Place" tool. Move the cursor to the door opening and click to place the door.

Step 4: Align and Position the Door

Once the door is placed, you can align and position it as desired. Use the Move, Rotate, and Scale tools to adjust the door's position and orientation.

Ensure that the door is properly aligned with the wall and that it swings in the correct direction.

Step 5: Check for Interference

After placing the door, check for any interference with other elements in the model. Use the "Interference Check" tool to identify any potential conflicts.

If any interferences are found, adjust the door's position or size accordingly.

Step 6: Complete the Door Family

Once the door is properly placed and aligned, you can complete the door family by adding any necessary parameters or constraints.

Click on the "Finish Edit Family" button to save the changes and close the family editor.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily add an interior door to an existing wall in Revit Family. This process allows you to create realistic and functional door openings in your Revit models.
