Allow curves/arcs/splines for line-based families

We should be able to make line-based families do whatever we want. Straight lines are too limiting. This could be accomplished by sketching the path of the line, using whatever drawing tools we want.

 

My particular application for this is for flexible lighting, but I'm sure it has other applications.

 

It would still be important for Revit to calculate the total length of the line. This way, for the flex light application, I can calculate the total wattage.

 

Others, please respond with additional applications so we can get some broader support for this.

Agreed - and the curves / arcs should be grip editable intuitively - as happens in AutoCAD.

 

You can't drag a curves grips in Revit to new locations which are outside the curve... The user has to create a new curve.

And can they also stay chained when you tab-select like detail lines, please.

I agree. I use it to model linear architectural structures to cover ramps (columns+ceiling inside one family). Though I can't do curves and some of the ramps are curved...
