Hi, I have imported a cad model, I am trying to make a sweet alond the 3 lines shown on the attachment (the profile can be seen on the left) How can I make a reference line along those 3 cad imported lines? I am unable to snap to the line and when I select the line to make reference or model line it just moves it to the set work plane. As you can see the lines are sloping both horizontally and vertically. I just need to trace over these lines and I cant figure out how. Im sure its something easy I am missing? Regards

I don't see how you can do this as one sweep.  You would have to do it as three.

Will these lines lie flat on a plane?  If so, then you should be able to use them to describe the path. But if you created them in CAD, they why not native Revit?

The lines do not lie flat and they are not mine either (sadly) they are the architects centreline.

I was going to create 3 sweeps once I managed to do one. Not as easy as I first thought
