Modelling Flexible Pipe in Family Editor

[mrgrotey]

Hi there,

Is there any way to model flexible pipe in the family editor?
The image attached shows something like I want to achieve. I have modelled the pressure gauge itself but the piping coming off it is puzzling me as to how to go about it.


In AutoCAD/3DS Max I would draw a 3D spline and maybe extrude along it or loft it but I can't find the Revit equivalent. Drawing a path in Revit only seems to allow a single plane.

Apologies for the image size, not sure how to make it a thumbnail on this site.

There are no easy solutions to this as far as I'm aware of. Within the family you cannot create flex pipes. And there of not the same ability to loft a profile along a B-spline as in 3DSMAX. You could likely piece together several sweeps in Revit to get something close to what you're looking for.
