Hi Everyone,
Sorry I still haven't posted the video and datasets from RTC2011, I will do it when I get a spare few hours, need the incentive to sit down and record it all!
In the meantime I thought I'd share a little freebie, especially useful for all Australian users. I have compiled a detail component family to graphically represent disabled circulation requirements as per AS1428.1-2009 to match Figure 31. It has been setup to be completely fool proof, that is if you set any values that don't comply to this standard, you will get a nice large warning advising that the door doesn't comply.
It has some pretty darn long nested conditional statements (each about half a page of single line text) to match the requirements. To help manage such long formulas I used an Excel spreadsheet to compile the formulas directly from the table.
Hope all find this useful. Please let me know if you do as it may give me incentive to post some more...
Technically you could nest this family directly into your doors and use some formulas to to have it set to the appropriate sizes. However, you may find that when you flip your door it will flip around the centre of the extents of the family and not about its origin. A really annoying limitation of Revit that drives me nuts!!
Download it here and the Type Catalogue of standard sizes here.
