Hey all,
I'm making an intricate Revit mass representation of a prefabricated building unit. The unit will need to have 4 "noodle" shaped components which will be used to anchor cables coming from another component of the building structure. My questions are...
1. How can I make a noodle shape - shaped in section like the letter "C," so not exactly a half-circle - in Revit mass modeling? (also note, i'm not making this in a Family, just making it in the project itself...)
which brings me to my second question
2. Is there a way I can save this intricate mass as a family AFTER creating it in my project?
Your help is greatly appreciated! Huzzah for Autodesk. Huzzah for 3D.

Why in a mass instead of a family?
No, you can not convert a mass to a family.
Noodle shaped? Seems like a rectangle profile septh along a path.

A noodle shape? Something like the attached? It was created using a sweep.

Massing is only for ridiculously organic forms. The vast majority of curves and bends and such can be made with the normal modeling tools within your project. Sometimes it takes a little creativity to figure out how to make it.
Massing is sort of... separate from the rest of the program. It's frustrating trying to integrate massing into a project, and it's really only meant as a framework to apply things like roofs and curtain walls to the face of.
