Extrusion by 3D line path

[lygking]

Dear People,

I have a complicated 3d line. It has a radius and longitudinal elevation at the same time.

As you know, it cannot be chosen in the Revit when we use extrusion for modeling solid.

How can I use the 3d line or what is the best way of modeling with the 3d line?

Sweep is the best way of modeling with the 3d line. By using sweep Pick Path.

Thank You.

I'm not sure what you're explaining. Is it a model line or a Ref. Line? Where does it originate from? Can you provide more detail on your workflow and what you're trying to do?

Is it a CAD 3d line? Share it.

Instead of describing a 3d object with words, can you please post an image?

[lygking]

I added captures and DWG for example.

I cannot use 3d line perfectly.

See screencast.

Good way 🙂

Thank you~

One more question.

If I use system families such as pipe, duct, and conduit, is it the same way?

It should be easier if you draw it as a duct or a pipe by laying out a 2d path and change elevation or slope.
