This website, RevitCity and any other websites that comes up when i search for the particular window/door type in Google. If you have any suggestions for some useful online Revit family librarys that would be much appreciated. 

Thanks

My first source is always a manufacturer's website.  Second choice is AutoDesk Seek.  Anything created by someone else I treat as suspect unless their content has been vetted or vouched for by someone with experience in these things.

So, for example, in the U.S. I searched Anderson, Marvin and Pella windows.  I am not familiar with any of the equivalent companies on your side of the pond.  You would know better than I right?

Posted at CADTutor by TZFrampton in answer to a similar question re: Families.

"The highest possible element of a Revit model is a "Family" which is based on a predefined category (Category = Door, Wall, Roof, Duct, etc). Next, would be "Type". This is essential to planning Revit content. In the case of Casement vs Double Hung, this would be two completely different Families, but both the Window Category. Think of this as two entire different Blocks in AutoCAD. From there, each Family would have the different Types. Types can be separated in many different ways, such as by size, by brand/model, by function, etc."

Does that finally answer your question?

Well it has certainly given me more of an understanding thank you! - Regarding Revit family downloads, come to think of it i have come across some dodgy families downloaded from other users. To be honest John, being new to the industry i wouldn't, however i'll look into it, as well as AutoDesk Seek.

Thanks for your help!
