Family Overview

ConVoid uses its own Revit families to represent openings. These families contain built-in parameters, formulas, and 3D geometry that ConVoid needs for creation, updates, tracking, and coordination.

The families are installed with ConVoid at \Documents\conclass\Revit Content\%year%\%language% and are available in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Italian, Polish, and Czech for Revit 2023-2027. If missing, download them here.

Custom Family Path

Copy the families to a shared server location so all team members load from the same path. See Installation for details.

Do's and Don'ts

Before editing any ConVoid family, read the Do's and Don'ts chapter.
