Good day everyone:

Please see attach tiff file. Now I had a roof top need to model. One of my former coworker create this in sketch up and now I need to recreate it in Revit. I have a question is about the horizontal beams. On the roof top there are four main curve beams. I need to put those horizontal beams every 1 meter. Hence, all the beams are different. Any easy way to model them? Thanks in advance.

Just make a family that is a sweep around a path that has parameters. You can add a factor for change in width per level or just manually type in the value you want as and instance parameter.
