This Is Part 4 of our series on How To Create Revit Window Families Revit Family. In this episode, we create the header family, nest the header into our Window Family, create the symbolic lines to display in plan view for both the header and window, and tie the parameters together so that the header works with our window family. The full description of the features of these families are at the beginning of Part 1 of this series.
