Would it be feasible to add a polyline feature in Revit similar to AutoCad's, with the ability to tag length or area if polyline is closed, and attach the symbols at start or end?
A Continuous "Multi-segmented Line" that is at the end represents Only one Line with its Total Length Reported and its Own Parameters..... That is always Required for Life Safety Drawings and Calculating "Travel Distance and Common Path" Requirements through Different Views.
As well, could be then calculated in Schedules or Legends....
We use the railing type @Anonymous mentioned. This is relegated to a Life Safety Workset that is turned off by default for new views. The benefit of the railing is the ability to calculate length down a slope or stair. This still gets an upvote for other 'polyline' uses like tracing the cut profile of a wall section or graphically representing a fence line. Our current solution for these situations is to create a detail group with which we have had occasional corruption problems in the past.
I know high quality splines are a long way off, but including POLYLINES in Revit's toolset would be a big improvement to core functionality. In Dynamo one frequently desires to reference a compound path. If Revit supported polylines, the user wouldn't have to draw multiple line segments, make a model group, then reference the group into dynamo and get group elements, then join the segments to form a polyline to work from. A combination of adaptive point type behavior would be of great benefit (3d snapping). Line endpoints could exist in the model independent of a workplane or with a much more liberal relationship to a WP. Allowing CLOSED polylines would be even better.
Allowing model line or curve JOIN (into polyline or polycurve) would be a great additional option. Inversely, an EXPLODE function would be very handy as well.
Closed polylines would also work extremely well in conjunction with filled region, where the enclosed area could be filled in with a hatch. Similar to Adobe illustrator with stroke and fill on a closed polyline.
Additionally, being able to modify imported Autocad polylines and exporting out polylines to Autocad would save a lot of time.
This request has probably been made ad nauseum in the past, but chained lines are not equal to polylines in AutoCAD. Can we we please finally get polylines in the next version of Revit?
