Revit LT families library

[georgehobel]

Just learning Revit LT here.. working on a residential project.  I would like to add crown molding to the interior walls at the ceiling, but I am unable to load the proper families.  I'm wondering if my profile families loaded properly or not.....Maybe these profiles aren't included in Revit LT??

Hello,

You could use the model in place function where you model a sweep around the edge of the wall.

You either sketch the crown profile or load one.

"model a sweep"..??

I've got a lot more learning to do.  Just picked up a book, but I'm on page 1 of like 500.  Doing a lot of learning as you go.

@georgehobel Hi

1. using model in place is one solution (although not ideal) ... I will go ahead and mark it as solution to close this one out
2. on your question relating To Libraries; the LT content library (pre version 2017) has always been not as big and extensive as that of the full version. Not to mention the probable installation issues which might have altered the download of the complete library. However, that shouldn't be a problem or a hinderness which prevents the user from modeling what is necessary to suit the project. 
3. Personally I would model the crown molding extrusion in its own family (wall or ceiling based) or as a generic model nested into a line based family. (But from what you have stated, I guess you still have lots of learning ahead of you)

cheers
