Stewart Millar has contributed to the parameter naming debate / dialogue by providing a set of files from CESABIM.
The development of the CESABIM Database has been principally based on the FCSI North American standards for shared parameters. CESABIM currently exists in this format with slight adjustments of metrication.
I previously re-posted about some of challenges of adopting Revit in the foodservice industry at Revit: Problem Or Solution?
A recent ‘tips’ post provides a couple of good guidelines, namely:
When working in Revit, focus on the families. Understand that families are everything…
