Hi
is there a step by step process for the creation of family and parts with associated graphical data. e.g 2D and 3D models
YouTube doesn't seem to have anything in this so reaching out
kind regards
Yes.
Create 3d drawing
Create plan and model
Make sure you have good origin
Repeat over and over next cell side by side
Example. I have a 3d dgn file with all my plumbing cells
Each object created starts with line that helps identify where the origin will be.
Then in many cases I build, borrow and modify and create a 3d object
This I save as 2d to create A plan
This I import back into this plan and place it on the ground level with the 3d model.
I now have a 100 or so cells.
Toilets different kinds and arrangements. For example a std handicapped restroom with all 2d and 3d data minus dim.
Now this file is easy to update and add and grow
And as I make a 2d/3d model I create the cell and add I to the respective library.
Toilets, sinks, tubs, showers. Kitchen sinks, etc

Hi John,
In addition to Emil's post, you may want to look at the Learn website. Lots of free material there on setting up Famility and Parts, the Datagroup System etc for Cells.
"internal dataset with internal 2D / 3D"
1. 'Internal dataset' I think you mean a customised 'internal' firm dataset?
2. 'internal 2D/3D models' Not sure, do you mean Cells that have both 2/3D information... like Aecosim's Compound Cells or Revit RFAs?
Please note that OBD is currently migrating to new functionality for parametric cells, utilising the new functionality provided in Mstn 16. High hopes for the upcoming OBD U9.
