I am a new user of Revit 2009.  I am limping through a handful of residential projects that I have begun.  How do I make corner trim on an exterior wall with siding?  How about adding a frieze board to where the wall joins to the roof on the gable side?  On the eaves?

#1) Create a profile of a corner trim piece and assign it in a wall sweep and place it as a verticle wall sweep at the corner. The trim piece will wrap from the host wall around to the perp. wall

#2) Create a wall sweep using a 1X12 (or whatever) profile and go to Wall Sweep>Roof Fascia and pick the lowest most line of your eave and offset horiz. by your overhange depth.

#3) The Eave sides will be a simple horizontal wall sweep using the same sweep as the gable ends.

Hope this helps,
