First, I wish I were as proficint as some other members here in creating families and didn't hav to ask this. Second, has anyone created any families for HB&G Tuscan Columns? I typically like to spec HB&G and want to use columns that are Architecturally specific in my drawings. The tapered round columns that come with Revit, and most that I've found here to download, do not match HB&G or Dixie-Pacific or Turncraft. The cap & base dimensions don't match. Also, the shaft diameter at the top does not match either. It's really important to me that I give the guys in the field accurate dimensions for porch entablatures and column positions. Without the proper columns available in Revit, I can't do this. HELP!

Hi there, I think it will be easier if you post the image there. Then one of us can give you a lead to do it. It's really dificult to make sense of what you need to do. sigma

It might be better than a picture. The HB&G website is www.hbgcolumns.com. On the site, they list all of the pertinent dimension information.

Most of the time I use "create in place". Pick the component button and select the column from the family type. Give it a name. Now use the solid "revolve" command. Once you are in a view, dreaw the axis and then sketch the profile of the colmun (only the 1/2 portion). Then finish sketch and you will get a column with all the details. I hope you can do it now!Let me know... Sigma

Don't use the Create-in-place to do those kind of columns, use a family, make them parametric, lenght, height, width.... so in the next project is just "Load into project"....

In-Place Families function hideInfo() { info = document.getElementById('infoline'); info.style.visibility='hidden'; } function showInfo(title) { info = document.getElementById('infoline'); info.innerText = title; info.style.visibility='visible'; } This is a copy and paste from " Revit help" ..... An in-place family is a family created within the context of the current project. The family exists only in this project and cannot be loaded into other projects. By creating in-place families, you create components unique to a project or components that reference geometry within the project. Sigma
