Tuesday, March 31 marks the end of the Revit Family Contest. The idea behind the contest was to get more content for Revit Market while giving you the chance to show off what you’ve got. Not only do you have a chance to win the first prize of $2500 in three categories, you also get ongoing income from sales of your families.

The contest requires each entrant to publish original families at Revit Market. What does this mean?

• Publish = Put up for sale
• Original = You created it yourself, or own the rights to it

Publishing at Revit Market is free. Entering the contest is free. A no-brainer, no?

This is how it works: You create a project using some of your original families. Then you publish the families for sale at Revit Market, and send me some screen caps or renderings of the project, showing the families in action.

As we cruise into the last couple of weeks of the Revit contest, we have some exciting additions to the Revit Market catalog.

Longtime subscription service RevitComponents has signed on with Revit Market, publishing their library of 250 top-notch families. Their selection ranges from casework to furniture, plumbing, and shelving units. Look for their products at Revit Market in a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, the contest entries are starting to come in. Perhaps you’d like to win $2500, just maybe? Then check out our Revit Contest page. Deadline is March 31.

Trying to categorize Revit families is a tough business! Is it 2D or 3D? Low, medium or high detail? Will it render in 3D? What else do you need to know about a family before you load or download?

Make your voice heard by taking our Revit Family Attributes Survey. One respondent will be selected at random to win a free TurboSquid t-shirt. But more than that, you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing you helped make the Revit community a better place.
