I found a few families that are baiscally just sweeps, just and then I have to create a new family for each status (L, Double L, Reverse L, U, etc.) I am also having problems punching holes in the countertops. Would it exist best to just create a contour family and just exercise sweeps within of the model? If so how do you become that sweep to alive in the casework object styles (so that my filters work)? And tin can you dial holes in a sweep? For right at present I just got frustrated and am useing a 1.5" thick roof.... it works but isnt in the correct object style or textile which poses a problem for our estimating department.

Creating the in identify sweep from a predefined kitchen or vanity profile under the "casework" category should notwithstanding maintain your visibility criteria. Set it at the proper height and place your sink at the proper height and cut the void.

Set fabric So but drop into model and stretch to desired dimensions. ----------------------------------- world wide web.RevitZone.com News / Articles / Tutorials / Forums / Beginners Guide to Revit

For length merely lock it to the pre-definded referance planes. When y'all bring it into the project you tin now stretch information technology with ease. It can also be joined with some other case to make the counter pinnacle expect lik one object. If needs be you can become and then far as to create parameters for voids that cut your counter pinnacle. That would be my arroyo.

No need to cut geometry. The problem i had with the pre-defined counters was always tweaking lengths and opening positions/shapes, not to mention the doglegs and chamfers but for uncomplicated 'L's and straights, they work fine.

Just a comment on what you said. Yep it wont automatically schedule nether casework but what you could practise is resign it to the casework category. What you practise is go to Settings>Family Category and Parameters and change it to the casework category and thn you should be able to schedule it under casework.
