1. Revit object hierarchy (non-negotiable)

Almost every beginner mistake traces back to misunderstanding this.

Content:

  • Family
  • FamilySymbol (Type)
  • FamilyInstance
  • Parameter (project-level object)

Include a simple diagram and a table like:

Object Represents Typical data
Family Definition Editable, name
FamilySymbol Type Category, Assembly Code
FamilyInstance Placement Level, Host, Mark
Parameter Metadata GUID, name, spec

You cannot validate data at a level where it does not exist.
