Hello,
I am trying to model a complicated faucet in Revit. I can do it in the conceptual massing environment but not in the standard family editor. I also can't bring the mass into my generic face based family. I have two questions.
1. Is there a way to bring the mass into a standard family?
2. Is there a way to model this using the standard family editor? I have tried swept blends, but can't get it to look right.
I will attach my mass family and the CAD drawings I am working from.

I don't understnad why people uses masses. You can model solid and voided objects directly in a family!
Are you saying you modeled this in a project and want to bring it into a family?

This the first time I have used masses and the only reason I even tried is because I can't figure out how to make the geometry I want with the standard modeling tools. The area that is giving me the problem is the central faucet with it's flowing curves. I have tried using swept blends, but the results are far from satisfactory. In my experience, Revit's standard modeling tools are not well suited for something like this. Maybe I am just not being creative enough. Do you have any suggestions for modeling the central faucet with standard modeling tools?

Your right, I don't think Revit is built to model "soft" items. It is a building modeling program. For what you want, people are using inventor, sketchup or something else then bringing that into a family.
