Half Octagonal Panoramic Elevator

This parametric half octagonal elevator Revit family is ideal for buildings up to approximately 1 km (~3000 ft) in height. Includes beams, columns, the elevator car, multi-panel doors, call buttons and more. The elevator car can be positioned in any of the floors and the doors can open/close to any percentage (from 0-100%). The height of the first level (main floor) can be different than the rest of the floors (rest of floors all share the same height).

• Parametric: Yes
• Hybrid*: No
• Compatible with: Revit 2016 and higher.
• Family type: Mechanical Equipment
• Materials/textures: Yes
• Approximate file size: 2.02 MB (basic), 2.66 (advanced)
• File format: .rfa

This BIM elevator includes two versions (separate files): basic and advanced. Both elevators have exactly the same parameters except one: the opening of the doors, which can only be opened in the Advanced elevator (in the basic elevator all doors are closed in all floors, including the floor where the car is positioned). Here is the list of customizable parameters:

Floor heights. The main floor (ground floor) height can be different than the rest of the floors. The rest of the floors all share the same height.

• Minimum main floor height: 8′
• Maximum main floor height: 40′

• Minimum secondary floor height: 8′
• Maximum secondary floor height: 20′

Number of floors:

• Minimum number of floors: 3
• Maximum number of floors: as many as the total height of the elevator (including the main floor and all secondary floors) does not exceed 3000′

Elevator car can be positioned in any floor

Doors of the elevator car can be opened by percentage++:

• Minimum open percentage: 0 percent
• Maximum open percentage: 100 percent

++ This parameter is only available in the Advanced elevator.

Elevator width, doors width, doors height, number of doors, frame width and pit height:

• Minimum elevator width: door width + 1’2″
• Maximum elevator width: 40′

• Minimum doors width: 2’6″
• Maximum doors width: 6′

• Minimum doors height: 6’8″
• Maximum doors height: 8′

• Minimum number of doors: 1
• Maximum number of doors: 4

• Minimum frame width: 6″
• Maximum frame width: 3′

• Minimum pit height: 5′
• Maximum pit height: 20′

Visibility of the following objects can be turned on/off:

• Left call buttons
• Right call buttons
• Car Vertical Supports
• Buffer Area

Material parameters for:

• Main Doors
• Elevator Glass

* Hybrid families combine native Revit objects with other 3D applications’ objects for a more organic and realistic look to the families. The objects coming from other 3D applications are configured to NOT have mesh lines (only outlines) and to display in black.
