Equivalent in Revit to Cad measure with aligned blocks

[JML_Mela]

Hello all,

We have a really complex project, I know how to do it in CAD but I am not able to do it in Revit...

I need to allocate and align a certain family every X cm following a curve. In cad is pretty easy, you just use measure, with a block, aligned, and you set the distance.

Thank you!

Hi @JML_Mela 

There´s no easy way to do that on Revit 😞

Meanwhile... I have some ideas for you...

1. You can use array polar ou rectangular to simple arcs or lines and just specify the distance between the objects;

2. In case that family is 2D, you can use repeating detail option and do that automatically...

3. You could put this family inside a curtain wall (panel family) or even a railing (baluster family) and draw your lines and curves. You can configure the distance between them.

4. Maybe a dynamo routine should do this easily

Thank you Alan, at the end I have done a mass and divided it,  then I am filling it with a curtain profile.
