Why don't you Google "Revit Radial Array"?

I get a ton of hits. Lots of videos too.

Here's one:

Vertical surface? It's all about setting the work plane.

What object? Does it not work when you try?

Hello,

Radial array works for me on horizontal surfaces but when it comes to vertical surfaces it works in a weird way. For example, when I try to radial array a generic model ( ex: a small extruded box) on the wall it doesn't work for me. It doesn't work properly even after setting the proper work plane. How do I radial array the object in the image on the wall?

Model the extrusion using the wall as the workplane, or use a face based / work plane based family, then you can radial array it on the wall.
