My question is how we can make 3d spline in REVIT? If not, can we imported from Autocad? Once we imported a 3d spline, can we pick it or edit it?
One thing I found about REVIT is that the modeling tool is not as powerful as CAD, especially when we want to make curved things. Any suggestion or solution on this point?

You can typically make any curved thing you want, it's jsut a matter of what solids and voids to use to make the resulting piece. Do you have an example of something curved you'd like to make?

There is a limitation with splines. In AutoCAD you can offset a spline, but not in Revit.

Yzhou,

Here's a couple of spline walls as an example.
The one on the left is a sweep and the one on the right is a blend.
Both were made from the massing tool in 7.0.
