Pro Tip: Always start with Adaptive Component.rft when learning, as it gives you full control.

Reporting parameters read real-world distances between adaptive points. For example:

| Error Message | Likely Cause | Fix | |---------------|--------------|-----| | “Constraints not satisfied” | Adaptive points not locked to reference lines. | Zoom in, check each padlock icon. | | “Form cannot be created” | You selected points instead of lines. | Delete, then select only reference lines. | | “Component is over-constrained” | You added a standard dimension to an adaptive point. | Replace all dimensions with Reported Parameters. |

  • Place adaptive points

  • Create reference geometry

  • Host geometry to adaptive points

  • Add parameters

  • Control orientation and rotation

  • Nested components (optional)

  • Add symbolic/2D representation

  • Visibility and detail levels

  • Create family types

  • Save and load to project

  • Place Adaptive Component in project

  • Test variations

  • Troubleshooting common issues

    • What is an Adaptive Family?
    An Adaptive Family is a specialized Revit family type that allows points (called Adaptive Points) to be placed and adjusted after the component is loaded into a project. Unlike standard families, adaptive components can change shape based on the placement of these points, making them ideal for:
