New duct types

Hi MEPers:

How can I create a new kind of duct (an oval one)? Is there any tech document around I can read? I didn't find anything on the User's Manual.
As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

A new "type" of duct (as the word type has a special meaning in Revit) can be created by duplicating an existing type in the type properties dialog.
Creating a new "shape" of ductwork currently isn't possible in Revit MEP. With the current version you are limited to round and rectangular shapes.

Sorry.

Thank you, Jason. But I must say it is a serious drawback, as I am in the verge of beginning my first real project in Revit MEP, and I will use oval ducts - how can I tell others in my company that this promising new software will not do what we want, and that's just starting... I think ABS would do it (now that's worse...) I really hope Revit MEP 2009 does it.
Thanks again for your reply.
