Parametric content

AV Revit families that work inside real projects.

Craftify creates manufacturer-informed Revit families for AV equipment and mounting hardware, balancing visual accuracy, model performance, documentation needs and consistent parameter data.

Why Craftify

Useful BIM content is more than a detailed 3D model.

A strong AV family must display correctly in plan, elevation, section and 3D while remaining light enough for large project models. It also needs predictable insertion points, hosting behavior, visibility controls and parameter data that match the team’s documentation workflow.

We build families from reliable product information such as manufacturer drawings, data sheets, dimensions and mounting instructions. Geometry and information detail are selected for the intended use rather than added without purpose.

Families can be prepared for an integrator’s internal library or as structured manufacturer content. Before production, we confirm naming, category, parameters, connectors, symbols, clearance zones, type strategy and Revit-version requirements.

Project-ready behaviorFamilies designed for placement, visibility, tagging and scheduling.
Controlled performanceAppropriate geometry instead of unnecessary model weight.
Consistent dataAgreed parameters and naming across product families and types.

Typical deliverables

What we can produce.

The exact drawing and model package is defined around your standards, project stage and approved technical inputs.

01

Accurate geometry

Purpose-built 3D representation based on confirmed manufacturer dimensions.

02

Parametric controls

Type or instance parameters for dimensions, visibility and supported configurations.

03

2D representation

Clean plan, elevation and symbolic graphics for common documentation scales.

04

Connectors and data

Relevant electrical, data or AV information aligned with the intended workflow.

05

Mounting and clearance

Mounting hardware, access zones or service-clearance graphics where required.

06

Family QA

Checks for placement, flexing, visibility, types, parameters and file size before delivery.

Working method

A controlled four-step workflow.

Define use

We confirm who will use the family, in which Revit version and for what documentation purpose.

Collect data

We review dimensions, product drawings, mounting information, parameters and required types.

Build and flex

We create the family, test parameters and check views, hosting, connectors and visibility.

Review and issue

We apply feedback, complete QA and deliver the family with agreed supporting information.

Common project types

  • Displays and projection equipment
  • Speakers, microphones and cameras
  • AV racks and rack-mounted equipment
  • Wall plates, interfaces and control devices
  • Mounts, brackets and supporting hardware

Helpful inputs from your team

  • Manufacturer datasheets and dimensioned drawings
  • Required Revit version and category
  • Parameter and naming standards
  • Expected plan, elevation and 3D appearance
  • Required types, connectors and hosting behavior

Frequently asked questions

Before we start.

Can you create parametric AV Revit families?

Yes. Where a product range or configurable item requires it, we can build controlled type or instance parameters for dimensions, visibility and supported options.

How detailed will the 3D geometry be?

The appropriate detail depends on the intended model use. We prioritize recognizable, dimensionally useful geometry while avoiding complexity that adds file weight without improving coordination or documentation.

Can you build families for an AV manufacturer?

Yes. We can follow a defined manufacturer content standard and create a repeatable library structure across a product range, subject to receiving approved product data and brand requirements.

Do you test the families before delivery?

Yes. QA typically includes placement, parameter flexing, types, visibility, symbolic graphics, connectors, naming and file-size checks appropriate to the agreed scope.
