Modelling a waterslide... How to ?

[Munkholm]

Hi everyone.

I currently work on a project, where i´m gonna need to model a waterslide, kinda like the one in the attached image.
I´ve been playing around with it, but can´t really find a way to do it in Revit... any suggestions ? Thanks.
For starters I won´t need the details (bearings, assemblings etc.) just the rough shape (tube) of it.

If you scroll down this page, you will see the list of similar threads. The first one on that list covers how to model a waterslide.

You can create a ramp with a 10 mm width and a 10 mm thickness (or several ramps if the slides intersect). Then you create a railing with the waterslide profile and use the ramp as host.

Thanks guys.

Tried out some of the excellent suggestions, but ended up doing three parametric families instead.
1. Straight tube
2. 45 degree curved tube (Right)
3. 45 degree curved tube (Left)
In the parameters I now have control of: length/radius, slope, and tube diameter of each section, which I just need to place next to each other.
This is pretty similar to the way it builds and assemblies in "the real world"
And in the next phase, I now only need to detail those three families :-)
