Hi, I'm using Revit 2009 version now. I got some question hope you guys can figure it out.

I need create a canopy structure by MODELLING-CREATE-SOLID FORM-SOLID SWEEP. But I can't set up an appropriate work plane, like profile shows in elevation, path shows in plan. That is to say I only can operate based on plan (Floor 1,floor 2, etc.) or give it a Z direction parameter in plan view.

Some one told me that pick up unbased on plan when openning a template, then "Work Plane-based" and "Always vertical" under FAMILY TYPE-Family Parameters, and I could create family with slope and something else.

If my understanding is wrong, please help me show the correct steps. Thank you Thank you!!

Revit 2009? hummmm long time, First you must learn how to use the Work Plane, you can use ref. planes and ref. lines to help you, you can draw your path in the right plan view, then change your work plane to a ref. plane and now you are working in a elevation or section view like you want, more, after you create and finished your path in plan view you can change to a 3D view then go to a view > Orient by plane and choose the profile plane then draw the profile in that 3D view.

HDD there is no need to give a name to a ref. plane, like i said "you can draw your path in the right plan view, then change your work plane to a ref. plane (select Set work plane then choose PICK PLANE, now you pick on the ref. plane you want, no need to have a name) and now you are working in a elevation or section view  (you choose)", what you are talking about is if you are in a 3D view and you want to orient the work plane to that (named) ref. plane you need previous to give a name to that ref. plane.
