Can't sweep along an elliptical path

[Wes Macaulay]

I'm sure this isn't a problem for most of you... I mean, Aaron's finally got his ellipse, and now all I want to do is sweep a profile along one.

But Revit can't presently do it :cry:

Anyone got a timeframe for when I might be able to do this?

Only the factory could tell you that, and I doubt that they will. :shock:

Do you want this moved to the Wishlist forum, Wes ?

Hmm... no, this is fine for now. I'm also noting that you can't snap nearest to an ellipse either -- only the points that define the ellipse, and any endpoints if it's a partial ellipse.

This isn't a wish, really... it should be possible. I don't like seeing any geometry on the screen whose outlines cannot be snapped onto. Not critical I suppose but presents me with a very immediate problem.

I don't know what it is you want to do exactly, but as a workaround to snap to an ellipse, create an extruded in-place wall by picking the ellipse, then you can snap to that, create lines or RPs etc, then delete the wall.
