I am new to Revit and have taken on a project of trying to re-design the defense lab where I work. The problem I am having is with the raised floor system that we have in the lab. They are 2' x 2' panels raised on metal pedestals. We have all of our cabling system running underneath. I am trying to find a raised floor system that I can download into my project or just make it part of the fllooring system of families. Any recommendations!!!

i don't see using any system family with a floor like that.. but you can make the floor any way you want with an in-place family..

I made a 2' x 2' square and then used the array to basically copy it into my floor. Hope this is correct.

If you don't need a panel count,  I don't think you want to use that Revit family.  I would do the top of the floor only, not the pedistals.  That floor would have the grid and could be adjusted for the room layout.  That means it can have 1/2 panels or even 'L' shaped panels.

If you need the pedistal's modeled (do you really?), then I would do those as a seperate family and array them.
