Curved Text! Can I automatically curve text around object?

[odomarchitects1810]

I don't find anything in "help" index. Any suggestions?

Nope, you need to make ref. planes in plan, then put your text on those in one or 2 letter increments.

This something my office is in dire need for. We really need curved reference planes. I know it's complicated. But it would save our office a lot of time. We do a lot of retail and a lot curved surfaces. Contractors have found a way to put signage on curved surfaces, Revit should be able to do the same.

You could create the curved text in another program like Adobe Illustrator and then bring the text into your Revit drawing as a jpeg.

Would be nice to either:

1. Have Model text conform to a curved wall/surface

or

2. Allow model text to be cut with a Void.

Curved Ref Planes would be nice, but can you use curved grids in the mean time?

As a workaround, for signage and other one-offs (i.e. not notes) you could create it in Autocad or Sketchup using their tools and import it into an inplace family.
