Here at Ideate, we frequently get questions in the classroom from students, such as when do I need an assembly instead of a group or nested family? This blog deals with how and when to use assemblies, and the short answer may be “when you need associated drawings and material or part takeoffs from the assembly."
Thank you for reading. For more information on Revit and other Autodesk products, and information on training and consulting for the various products Ideate services, visit our website at www.ideateinc.com
