Dero bicycle rack families will also load standard materials that are render ready. Materials can be changed with instance parameters within each family’s type properties.

Dero Ad Rack includes a material that must be remapped on your computer. Put the image file where it can be accessed. In the Materials select Dero Ad Rack Sign and under Render Appearance locate the AD_RACK_AD.jpg wherever you decided to put it. Otherwise the sign will render as black. This image can be edited to display a custom sign.

Dero bicycle rack families are created as site components. Creating a site schedule will allow them to be scheduled so that they automatically schedule finishes, number of parkable bikes, and type of racks among other possibilities. Revit Help menu instructions will assist you in creating a schedule that meets your needs.

Dero bicycle rack families are provided as a service to customers of Dero. No warranties are expressed or implied with regards to the Revit families. All specifications should be verified with Dero. Written specifications and other information provided specifically by Dero shall take precedence over what is found in the Revit families. Altering in any way the Revit families may cause significant discrepancies between actual Dero products and Dero Revit families. Dero customers are encouraged to check the Dero website for updated families to avoid outdated information.
