hi, I'm trying to model a vaulted ceiling like the one below the terrace in the picture. There's also a cross section. It's not clear to me wether this can actually be modeled so that revit will automatically create as many little vaults as it's needed to cover the whole ceiling surface. That would be best for me but I don't know where to start. Any idea to help me, please?

I'd try and do it the very boring wayMake it as a family and create a Solid extrusion of the Vault so that you get the basic shapethen use a Solid Extrusion of a birck profile and radial array it along the vault edgeGroup it, and repeat until satisfied It's not clever or fancy, but it'll section like your crossection and it's render near as dammit

Since this is a "one of", I would do it in the project as in-place elements but all as one family definition. You can extrude the vaulting or sweep it. I would probably do the structural elements outside the ceiling or maybe only as detail elements. The real qestion is does this have to render?

Actually, I don't need the detail straight out of the cross section, I can do the 2D drafting myself. What matters most to me is that there actually are steel beams in the 3D model and that vaults can be rendered. Maybe I should treat these vaults between two I beams as some sort of vault-shaped beams themselves?

It might also provide you with some more flexibility to create a profile family and load it into your project for use in an in-place family. I prefer profiles when creating in place families- simply because: 1. I can re-use them 2. view navigation within a project file while in family-editing mode leaves much to be desired- especially at non-orthoganal views. 3. I find the parametrics to be easier in a 2d profile. 4. Sketching is a lot cleaner- no background noise.
