PEMB frame - from Revit City

[Anonymous]

I found this at Revit City. Can someone help me fix this family?  The slope parameter is not flexing correctly.

Thank you

And.....the reason why families from Revit City are not allowed in any of our projects.  People upload families that have not been tested first.

I should have lead with:
I am a 1 person shop and I have been using Revit for 6mo. Families are still daunting.

Try this one. We do Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings quite a bit and this family isn't perfect, but it works.

That works great. It does more than I could have hoped.

The one from Revit City used reference planes for the slopes...which will break once flexed.  @johntyson3407's version is much better.

I don't suppose you're still out there somewhere lol? We use this family quite often, thank you first and foremost! However, it appears it can be used for single slope/flat option, but just not sure how. I have played with this quite a bit, not sure how both frames shown work with options?

Still here!

It was a while ago, but I think I remember it being too much trouble to get the all-in-one family we were striving for. Try this one for mono slope applications. Set the slope to 0 for a flat option, works great for portal frames.

I had just gotten to the point of WAY too much trouble, with trying to make it work all around lol! This is perfect though, thank you! I swear I'm going to figure it out, I will share if/when I do!

You are the man. Most people safe guard their families like new born children. You just drop exactly what I need like it's nothing. Most people on here just tell others to "get good" at making adjustable families. You sir, are a legend. 🙏
