Can anyone help me with creating a sweep that travels along the Z-Axis , then X-Axis, then the Y Axis and back to the Axis. I have tried setting work planes but Revit wont aollow me to creat them on the diffrent axis to draw my path. My goal is to show duct work as it moves through the building. Whats the best way to accomplishthis. thanks

Look, use "Model Lines" to create the "Skeleton" of the path/object then use "Solid Sweep" and use "Pick Path".... just like that... Watch this: http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=19342&start=15

Thanks for the reply, but I'm still have the problems of getting my path to connect when I transition to a travel in the Z direction. Im I supposed to be adjusting the work planes or something?

I'm working in Revit Arch. not in MEP but you must "play" with the "Work planes" and differents views to create that kind of skeleton.

I forgot to mention I'm using Revit 2011 as well. I'm just using the sweep command to represent the duct work. How can I change the planes to accomplish a model similar to what you did in the phto u sent earlier?

If I understood you correctly..... sweep works only on one plane at a time... (i.e., X,Y or Z,X...) you cannot join continous path in different directions to form solid sweep. But you can "intersect" them.
