How to draw this unique chair on Autodesk Revit

1.   open Autodesk Revit and select New Family

2.   select Metric Generic Model and Open

3.   on the create tab, under the datum heading select the     reference line (this will be used to create a “box”   in which we are going to draw the chair)

4.   the “invisible box” will have the following      dimensions: 860mm x 610mm x 350mm with a seat height of 470mm.

     Under the project browser, be sure to be on the left      elevation. With the reference lines, draw a simple    box to host the chair design that looks similar to   this:

              610mm

 

 

                          860mm

   470mm

5.   now, click on the create tab and under forms, select the extrusion option.

Be sure to click on the line tool

Now you are ready to start drawing!

6.   If lines cross over each other, be sure to trim them,     using the trim and extend function. Just remember to click on the parts of the line you want to keep

 7.   Now that the basic shape is outlines, click on the   offset icon, and use this function to give your chair a depth.

8.   Set the offset to the required thickness, in this    case I chose the thickness of 20mm

9.   Trim lines and extend the edges, aslo I have in this      stage decided to round off some of the sharper edges.

10.  Now you are ready to click the okay icon and then    specify the depth of the extrusion. I specified mine    at 750mm but this all depends on the type of object    your making.
