This is outline of what we are going to do. make a new reveal profile family with parameters.

Place reveal on wall, and then edit reveal.

Step #1: create new reveal profile family, from menu pick new family.

Save this new family giving it new name and folder location, to help you find and reuse again.

Step #2: to make this new family. pick line from menu. from the draw menu, pick the rectangle sketch tool.
now pick one point on the vert. reference line above the horiz. reference line, and next point below the horiz. reference line and to the right of the vert. reference line. this rectangle does not need to be exact dimensions, we will add dimension parameters in next step.

Step #3: using aligned dimension tool,1st pick bottom of rectangle, 2nd pick the horiz. reference line, 3rd pick top of rectangle, 4th pick out in space to the right, to close dimension run and place dimension location.

Step #4: pick modify, then select dimension that you just placed, you should see EQ with slash thru. pick this on screen.
both dimension values should change to EQ, and the rectangle top and bottom lengths will be equal.

Step #5: start another aligned dimension, 1st pick bottom of rectangle, 2nd pick top of rectangle, 3rd pick to the left to place dimension on other side.

that will be more descriptive for the reveal profile dimensions you plan to use. Now change the Width and Depth values to what dimensions you need.
the pick Apply. If you need more reveals with different dimensions add additional Types by picking New Family Types and changing the dimension values.
and pick Apply after creating each one, the pick OK to finish.

Step #10: Save your new reveal family to store your work, if you have your Revit project open, you can pick Load into Project icon.

Step #11: In you Project go to elevation view of wall that you want to add reveal to. Under the Wall icon pick the Reveal icon. Reveal will be shown in the Properties sidebar. pick Edit Type, now pick duplicate, change the name to something more descriptive similar to the reveal profile family that you made.
look for the profile line using the dropdown change from default to the name of the reveal profile family you made. then pick OK.

Step #12: now pick the dropdown in the Properties sidebar, and pick the Reveal Family that you just made. now you are ready to place a reveal.
but first look at placement tab, pick vertical to place vertical reveal. move pointer to wall and place reveal. the reveal will extend full wall height.
