Does anyone know if Revit (or an add-on to Revit) does something similar to the Autocad restroom package from this site:

I'm sure Revit has the capability. Just wondering if anyone has automated things like stall layout to be that simple.

You can do this quite easily using a line based family.

I don't think it is quite that straight forward.

For instance you can't load a wall style into your line based family, which would provide the partitions between your stalls and something for the door objects to attach to.

Yes, you could manually model the walls and doors but they wouldn't be true walls and doors.
To do this the proper way, we would need the ability to load all object types into the line based family which would allow the ability to tag them correctly once in the project.

I think the closest you will come is to create a 'stall' group saved to your library.

They are generally not walls and doors in the usual sense. I'm thinking more in terms of manufactured toilet partitions which could be tagged as required.
