About this asset

A manual wheelchair Revit family designed with tubular metal framing, dual hand rims, front footplates, and an integrated turning radius clearance ring. Modelled as a standard self-propelled wheelchair, the unit features a tubular steel chassis finished in clean white with a muted grey upholstered seat and backrest. Two large rear spoke wheels include outer push rims and black solid tyres, complemented by dual front swivelling castors. Integrated handgrips curve backwards from the upright back supports for attendant assistance, while fixed armrests flank the seated occupant. Angled foot supports project forward with dual rectangular footrests and a lower calf band, all circumscribed by a dashed clearance perimeter displaying a 750 mm radius.

The download is a 358 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load the family directly into your Revit project to perform spatial clearance validation and accessibility audits. Because it includes a built-in dashed clearance boundary, space planners can readily verify circulation corridors, transfer zones, and door approaches in floor plan views. Assign instance visibility toggles or subcategory settings to display or suppress the clearance circle during final documentation and 3D orthographic presentations.

Essential for healthcare architecture, DDA compliance planning, and universal design schemes, this component suits hospital wards, clinics, aged care facilities, and accessible public washrooms. It provides immediate visual verification for disabled access paths in commercial lobbies, educational hubs, and residential social housing. Designers frequently specify this asset alongside grab bars, accessible vanity units, and transfer-friendly sanitary fixtures to ensure full regulatory alignment throughout design development.
