I am fairly new to Revit and am having difficulities creating families. My goal is to draw a goose neck lighting fixture (wall based), and am wondering if its possible to revolve a solid along a curved axis. So far all I have been able to do is revolve along a straight line axis. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

oh yeah- I want to draw the goose neck part of the fixture using the revolve command so I can create a cylindrical neck that is curved...make sense?

I believe you are needing a "Sweep" not a Revolve. Check out the Solid sweep tool.
