Our company is converting from another BIM software (Vertex BD) to Revit, and we're having trouble re-creating our Brick Jackarch family in Revit. I have searched everywhere for a download and can't find much... see attached pics for what we're trying to achieve. (this family must be parametric and work with various window widths)

In the OLD software, we created this trim point-by-point with COORDINATES. (I've attached the code we used to create the coordinates if it helps.) Is there a way to use coordinates to program a family in Revit? If not, can anyone think of another way to do this in Revit? Let me know if I need to be more specific. Thanks.

Have you tried Revit City?

I quite liked this one, although this isn't he one you want...

I had a look at the code, and it looks too specific, to be translated, to perametres in revit. Although the formulas would work, if you are feeling brave.

If you want to make your own family, it dosn't look that hard, and it might be fun?
