15 Sideboards and Dressers Revit Families

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

● Set name: Sideboards and Dressers

● Version: 1.0.0

● Revit version: 2019

Description

This set of Revit families is intended for modeling sideboards and dressers in Autodesk Revit.
The families allow you to create sideboards and dressers of various configurations with precise dimensions. The set is suitable for interior designers and architects. For furniture manufacturers, the families are not sufficiently detailed for production modeling.

Loading and placing into the project

To view and load the required families from the set, you can open the Sideboards and Dressers Project and copy the families using the Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut, then paste them into your project using Ctrl+V.

Alternatively, you can open the folder containing the family files and drag them into the project using the mouse.

2. SET STRUCTURE

The set includes the following families:

● Sideboard

● Sideboard oval

● Dresser

3. COMMON FAMILY ELEMENTS (DRESSER AND SIDEBOARD)

This section describes the repeating elements and options available in the Dresser and Sideboard families.

Doors

In the door type dropdown list:

● STD.front (flat front panel)

● FR.Front (front panel with an external frame)

● INT.front (with integrated handle)

All door types can be either inside or outside.

Handles

In the handle shape dropdown list:

● Cut-out handle

● Knob

● Bow handle

● T-shaped

● Shell pull

● Overlay handle

● Leather loop pull

● Leather pull handle

● Rectangular handle (full width of the door)

Legs

In the leg shape dropdown list:

● Rectangle

● Cylinder

● Cone

● Platform

● Chamfered rectangle

● Angled cone

● U-shaped

● Plinth

● Classic

For freestanding legs, it is possible to enable or disable the rail between them.

4. FAMILIES

Dresser

The Dresser family is used to create dressers of various configurations.

The following elements can be enabled or disabled:

● Module 2

● Handle module 1

● Handle module 2

● Worktop

● Raised edge

● Legs

● Rails for leg

Dresser Options

The number of doors can be 1 or more.
The width of the doors is not set manually and is calculated automatically.

Parameter tooltips contain information about minimum and maximum values (hover the mouse over the parameter and wait for the tooltip to appear).

Module 1

1_Column count: from 1 to 2
1_Drawer count: 1 or more

Module 2

2_Column count: from 1 to 4
2_Drawer count: 1 or more

The number of drawers vertically can be 1 or more, but dimensional correctness must be maintained to avoid errors.

Dimensions

Dresser Height is an overall height parameter that includes additional element heights if they are enabled (Legs Height, Module 2 Height, Worktop Thickness, Raised edge Height).

Parameters shown in gray cannot be edited. They are intended for understanding dimensional calculations. For example, INT_Width shows the total furniture width, calculated using a formula based on the countertop overhang and the dresser width.

If the countertop is disabled, INT_Width will be equal to Dresser Width.
The same principle applies to dresser depth.

Handles of the Cut-out handle, Bow handle, and Overlay handle types allow width adjustment. Cut-out handles and overlay handles are always centered along the top edge of the door.

The Handle Offset from edge parameter affects the vertical position of the handles.

Classic leg dimensions are fixed:

Legs width = 40 mm
Legs height = 150 mm

The Lateral shift Legs and Forward-backward shift Legs parameters control the movement of the legs toward the center of the dresser.

Doors

Module 2 allows the doors to be disabled, creating a shelf in the upper part of the dresser. Only one shelf is possible. The number of vertical dividers depends on the selected number of columns in Module 2.

Handles

Handles for Module 1 and Module 2 can be enabled/disabled and configured independently.

One or two handles can be placed on a single door. This does not apply to Cut-out handles and Overlay handles, which always have one handle per door.

If the Handles centered parameter is disabled, the handles move to the top edge of the door. In this case, the Dimensions section allows adjustment of the distance from the top edge.

Materials

Sideboard

The Sideboard family is used to create sideboards of various configurations.

The following elements can be enabled or disabled:

● Worktop

● Handles

● Legs

● Rails for leg

● End panel on the left

● End panel on the right

● Partitions

● Opening

Doors and handles are the same for all modules.
The following parameters are configured individually per module:

● Number of doors

● Handle placement

● Vertical position (for handles)

● Opening type

Sideboard Options

The number of modules can be set from 1 to 5. Modules can be identical or configured individually.

The width of each module is configured individually, except for Module 1.
Module 1 width is calculated by subtracting the total width of Modules 2–5 from the overall sideboard width.

Each module in the sideboard is configured independently.

The left and right end panels are enabled separately, but their height is adjusted jointly.

An additional partition can be enabled between modules, allowing for a greater variety of sideboard configurations.

Dimensions

Sideboard Height is an overall height parameter that includes additional element heights if they are enabled (Legs Height, Worktop Thickness).

Parameters shown in gray cannot be edited. Module 1 Width cannot be edited to ensure correct family behavior. Parameters starting with INT are shared parameters and can be used in schedules if required.

If the worktop is disabled, INT_Width will be equal to Sideboard Width. The same principle applies to sideboard depth.

Handles of the Cut-out, Bow, and Overlay types allow width adjustment.
Cut-out and overlay handles are always centered along the top edge of the door.

The Handle Offset from edge parameter affects the vertical position of the handles.
