When working with spline based massing, adding edges/ profiles currently generates non-editable splines that can only be scaled. Please allow for editable splines with control handles when editing the profiles. The same is true for offset splines or ellipses, these too become non-editable and as a result have to be recreated.
This comment should have way more than an average of one vote per day (15 votes in 15 days). I might actually use the spline tool if it were easily edited (even if I could just Split the line, that would be a HUGE improvement to the tool). The way it currently works is just not at all useful. The number one thing about drafting is that "things change". Well, splines are not easily changed/modified. So, they don't get used. I need to be able to control both ends of a spline AFTER I draw it. It currently acts like an invisible straight line and scales the whole dang spline if I move one end after the spline is drawn. That is pure insanity. Under what condition is that a desirable function??
I would like to add that most of the time (in my case), a spline need to be closed : wich is impossible in Revit.
We need to draw a small line between the start and the end point.
It would be nice to be able to close a spline (either by selecting the starting point or by pressing "enter" when done)
Plus, the fonction to "add point" puts it in the midle of the "segment" instead of where the click is done. Which result in an additionnal step of selecting this new point and move it where we wanted it (where we just clicked).
To cuddyUCMTKI : got the same problem of needing to move the end (or start) point and the spline was scaled.
Then I found out if you press tab 1 time, the "outside circle" will be selected (insted of the inside dot) and then you can move the point without scaling the spline. See image :

I would also like to have an option to prevent spline from breaking when meeting an other element.
I need to draw spline "on top of" an already made drawing. There are many walls, lines, colums, etc...
I need to be super cautious to where I clic because if I hit something, the spline break.
I know it's not a "big deal" to start an other one at the break point, but the best would be to have the option to "ignore other elements" while drawing. Like a tick case next to the one to select if we want the lines to be linked or not for example.
Thanks @Evalucia , that is an excellent tip. Even though I use the Tab key for a lot of things in Revit, I never would have thought to use it on the end of a spline. Thank you!
That would be a good tool tip to add to the drop-down in Revit (when you hover over the spline tool).
The thing with the closed splines is probably the same as with circles which also end up being two half circle arcs fitted together. If you draw your closed spline shape in two steps, the second starting at the end of the first, you will find you can also click the starting point of your first step thus closing the shape. Not ideal though.
I want to be able to draw splines and curves properly when in sketch mode within the contextual draw panel. Some commands do not allow for curves/splines, such as callouts. The wall command doesn't allow for splines within the contextual draw panel either.
If you can persuade them to draw the element on the spline instead of some random distance between the control points and the centre of the circle it thinks each individual part of the spline it is drawing that would be great.
The accuracy available from this type of tool when drawing wires is pitiful. I assume the wall tool would be much the same if it was implemented in the same way as the existing functionality elsewhere.
