How to create a Revit family with ‘N’ Elements?

How to create a  Revit family  in which we want to have  N elements  (a shelf in our example)?

As you may know, the  steps to follow  are:

1) Create reference planes

2) Dimension said planes

3) Enter parameters to the dimensions

4) Create the extrusions, locking the reference planes. To create an element that is repeated N times, as in our example the Horizontal Shelf, we select the element to be repeated, and  create a matrix .  Next, we add the  parameter “Number of Shelves”  to the dimension that appears when creating the matrix in which we can change the number of elements. We add the formula  to adjust the parameter “Shelf Height” (Here you can use any formulas you can think of). Once  the family is loaded into the project , we can modify the family using the  instance parameters  : This tutorial is valid for any family in which an element is repeated N times. We hope you liked it!
