Hey guys, I'm using Revit 2015. I'm including a .png of the object I'm trying to model in Revit. This is a strand loop that we embed into precast pieces and use it to lift the piece for stripping or erection purposes.

I feel like it should be able to be done with the Swept Blend command, but I haven't been able to get it to work. Any ideas? Thanks ahead of time.

I don't see this as a Sweep Blend. Looks like a simple sweep, ending and sterting with a circle profile.

This is relatively easy to do. Create a path to follow with a Ref. or Model Line, then open the Sweep Command

and pick those lines for the path. Then go to edit profile and sketch your circle. Save and presto! Your Sweep complete.

Thanks pijpiwo!

That link you put here was exactly what I needed. Here's an image of basically what I did. Using an extrusion's faces as the reference planes worked like a charm!

...or you could do it the slower way if you're being paid by the hour.
