Pipe problem, mounting a drip tray

[btwiss]

I was asked to find a method of mounting a drip tray under a pipe, and the tray is follow the pipe.

My problem is, I havn't got a clue how to make it. Revit is all new to me (though 20 years of AutoCad)

I suggest using a Generic Model Adaptative Family:

If you need the tray only for a straight line direction you can use also a Generic Model Line Based Family , but I recomend usung the Adaptative

I've attached both files , because the Liniar can be easier understood....

or, maybe , if your pipe is many curvatures , is better to make a Sweep using as Path the center line of the pipe and as profile a parametric Profiele as in my previous post.

In this case,changing the pipe path ,will automaticaly change the Drip Tray path....
