hsbTimber for Autodesk® Revit®
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
The hsbTimber for Autodesk® Revit® app uses regular Revit structural members that are created from the standard structural member's templates. If not specified differently in the settings, all Revit structural members can be used for adding tools, creating shop drawings, exporting to CNC, etc.
Tools applied to these structural members are void families that cut the structural member. A tool can consist of multiple void families that are controlled by a handler. The handler family can be recognized by its magenta color.
Changes in the behavior, shape, or dimensions of a tool can only be controlled through the parameters of this handler family instance.
