Polyline

Polyline

I know high quality splines are a long way off, but including POLYLINES in Revit's toolset would be a big improvement to core functionality. In Dynamo one frequently desires to reference a compound path. If Revit supported polylines, the user wouldn't have to draw multiple line segments, make a model group, then reference the group into dynamo and get group elements, then join the segments to form a polyline to work from. A combination of adaptive point type behavior would be of great benefit (3d snapping). Line endpoints could exist in the model independent of a workplane or with a much more liberal relationship to a WP. Allowing CLOSED polylines would be even better.

Allowing model line or curve JOIN (into polyline or polycurve) would be a great additional option. Inversely, an EXPLODE function would be very handy as well.

Closed polylines would also work extremely well in conjunction with filled region, where the enclosed area could be filled in with a hatch. Similar to Adobe illustrator with stroke and fill on a closed polyline. 

Additionally, being able to modify imported Autocad polylines and exporting out polylines to Autocad would save a lot of time.

Perhaps the spline through points tool could be updated to have an option for straight segments. Atleast then the polyline remains parametric.
