Free 3D Revit Downloads of Detailed Components

When you use the Revit OPEN command, make sure you visit the WEB LIBRARY located on the button in the upper right corner of the OPEN dialog box....tons of furniture, equipment, with a high level of detail.

or use this link Revit WEB LIBRARY

Tip: On each page of components, there is a filing cabinet icon in the upper right corner of the webpage. If you pick the filing cabinet button, you can download a zip file that contains all of the objects on that page...some zip files are 16MB - 26MB in size...tons of realistically detailed architectural components.

In the Revit Web Libray you will find this link to the Woodwork Institute which has a ton of downloadable 3D cabinet libraries in Revit (RVT), AutoCAD (DWG) and AutoCAD (DXF) format. Upper cabinets, base cabinets, corner cabinets, full height cabinets, utility cabinets with a wide variation of cabinets with doors, drawers and shelving.

The Revit family editor is pretty cool as a parametric solid modeler....it allows you to create dimensional variations of your furniture or equipment in one file...rather than creating multiple files.

We sometimes use contract furniture manufacturers' 3D furniture blocks from their websites/CD and "Revitize them" from AutoCAD 3D blocks into Revit Families. The benefit of turning it into a Revit family is I can add parameters (attribures) that allow me to create Revit schedules (furniture, equipment, ) based on the parameters assigned to the component.

I've posted some other suggestions on my company's blog site:

Revit Architecture-AutoCAD Architecture Class Handouts

I have an Archive button at the bottom of the main blog page.

Chcck out these other sites for potential, free Revit components that you can download.
