21:00 I organically started doing this, though always unsure if it could be considered bad practice. What a relief seeing it done like this! Haha, thank you
The most interesting use of an off the shelf category for an odd object was a family I found where someone used railings family category to make railroad tracks that could be drawn super fast and easy.
If you draw the curtain wall as a continuous wall, the crown inside corners will join correctly the first time. It's only when you do one wall at a time that manual joining is required.
I have good luck making baseboards with rails. Basically, just select a profile and put it at 0”aff. As it’s attached to the floors, it can then also handle some minor floor adjustments/ramps and things as well.
I usually make all custom casework elements as family. It has been most successful in keeping the model light. However, its con is that editing each element for design changes has been difficult since you lose the context in the family editing mode. I wish there is edit in place mode like AutoCAD block editor or SketchUP component editor.
Is there a trick in how to get the profiles set up properly? I've been playing around with this idea today but custom profiles seem to break in multiple different ways. Is there a particular profile family template you would recommend to use?
Maybe I missed it but how are the curtain panels not showing joins by default? Also on my long term wish list, it would be nice if the curtain grids had an option to only span one segment and not the whole length/height of the wall (or roof).

Good to see some bespoke interior design stuff on revit.. & that it can be done efficiently.
You can addd multiple loops in the proofile
@@PaulAubin that’s what I was thinking! Thanks Paul!
@@TheRevitKid My pleasure.
@ All the classical styles and trims made me think of you during this interview! ;)
@@TheRevitKid I found his library quite impressive! They put some serious effort into that stuff. Looks great.

I have been using railings for most of base trim and wall trim design. anything else we make a few custom families per project.
So it’s sort of like components, the follow me tool, or profile builder in SketchUp.
Interesting to see the overlaps.

WWow, REVIT needs a 56 minute video to explain how to create a moulding
