Repost: Revit Model Content Family Style Guide From Autodesk (Source Link)  

Thanks to Steve at OpEd for posting this.

 I just started looking through this and may post back some information once I get done looking.  Basically, this .zip file includes some sample Revit families for some different Revit categories such as doors, windows, furniture, Revit MEP equipment families (chillers, Air handling Units, etc), etc.

 It also contains a few pdfs and an excel spreadsheet.  I have attached the files directly to this post, or you can download the zip file using this link:
