I'm trying to model a crane rail. The rail itself consists of 3 components: W24, C12, and a 60# rail. (see attached pdf file). The W24 and the C12, of course, are a piece-a-cake. But the shape for the 60# rail is going to have to be created. Someone suggested that I create the appropriate profile and then use the railing command with that profile. However, it seems to me that you can create a new beam family. I could either create a beam family just for the rail, or I could created a nested family and include all three elements as shown in the attached pdf (created in AutoCAD Architecture).
QUESTION is . . . how do I create a Beam Family? I've been trying to read the Help stuff and tutorials and so on, but I haven't been able to quiet figure it out yet. I could use a good tutorial or something.
By the way . . . . I'm a Revit Structure ROOKIE.
