3D Family issues.

i have just create a family for a complex window sill of concrete. Basically have two slanted areas as you can see in the picture. In autocad and Rhino is quite easy, but in Revit I could only make it two extrusions, remove a volume and then place together. The difficult thing was making the 2 one that is a plane that goes througe 3 lines with differente gradiant. As I said in Rhino is easy but here I could onle make it aproximately rotating, trying and error. Is it possible to make it exact knowint the position and gradiant of the 2 lines?

 

Second thing is possible to have the intersections lines B and remove the tangent lines A?

 

Finally in the family the 3d view is perfect but when I upload it to the project then it has a corner that doesnt match? Is tehre a reason gor this?

This is a very complicated window sill. My first question is, do you even need to model this geometry? A detail of this showing the contractor what he needs to build might be better.


Can you post the family? I think removing the tangent line will be difficult with how Revit handels the extrusion, but I could be wrong.

If you find my post interesting, feel free to give a Kudo.

Well it is not so complicated. This can be easily made in 3ds max, Autocad 3d  and Rhino. We need to model because the manufacturer make this stones with a cast that is made with numeric control. It is not made like the old way a talented carpenter using sections to control the points. This si not possible to be paid today. Also it should be easier to draw in 3 d and then obtain the sections 2d. Finally I have made using auxiliary volumens and then deleted, but i found very tedious this way. Also working with voids Volumens is very tedious as well. I would love to use cutting planings it is much more easier. Also here is the family.
