No, you can't.

I know, everyone switching from AutoCad wants their beloved Polyline but unfortunately there's no such thing in Revit.

You'll get used to it 😉

What are you trying to achive?

Everything you can do with a Polyline in Autocad you can do in Revit (just differently).

Hi @Anonymous !

well I wanted to draw a site boundary, then offset setbacks..

Hi @Anonymous,

you could just draw a Detail Line or Model Line.

Difference: Model Line is basically a 3D Object and can be seen in every view (if you don't know already).

Then use Offset to offset the line. Select the entire boundary by using Tab while hovering over one part of the line.

You can also group your boundary curve.

Hope that helps.

Go to Manage tab - start Dynamo player - select "Calculate total length of selected lines" - click "select" - select lines, finish, run...

First time you run it, it can take a while for it to return the result.

Sigh, now I miss Polylines even more...
