Hello!

I would like to create in Revit new family: reinforcement cage, which will be hosted in two elements: perimeter beam on the top of diaphragm wall and diaphragm wall itself.

To better understanding please see two hand drawings I've prepared: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bz8ii86q9min791/AAAllB3oxoGdJfzgtLr5YSLfa?dl=0

1. I would like to show that reinforcement cage only with basic dimension for the beginning. As you can see on first drawing it will be just cuboid with fixed 5mm distance from top of the beam and usually also fixed c=7.5mm. It will be great if I can show in plan and in view/section text (label?) which will be generated using previously given dimensions (green text): K_Width/Length. I don't need to see that in 3D view. 
2. In second picture you can see my need to add polystyren pieces in each of wall reinforcement exactly in the places where slab will join walls. However, slab is not a part of the project and the height and position will be given by architects. Polystyren is used to uncover reinforcement to make it possible to connect slab reinforcement with wall reinforcement. It consists two pices: 5mm & 3mm. First is based in the center of the "c" value (mentioned above), the second one just after main bar in reinforcement - although the position in that plane is not very important.

I would like to see polystyren in 3D view and in View/Section as it is drawn. Absolutely I don't need it in plan view.

Please help me with those two questions. 

In future I am thinking about drawing reinforcement for whole wall reinfocement in Revit. What do you think about it? Is it possible? Should I look for some more sofisticated tools or plug-ins like Sofistik?

Best regards.

Edit: In my opinion polystyren should by family created by the mean of line, because it's obviously not always straight (i.e. ramps) 

Edit2: On the other hand I would like that polystyren to move exactly as diaphgram wall reinforcement... Anyone has any ideas?
