1.how can I do to draw one figure or form using two or more reference planes, for example  how can I do to start drawing a model line in one reference plan and to end it on another diferent ref plane.... 

2....another doubt is (see atacched "sketch"Winkinghow can I do to copy one element that is located on a  ref plane and to paste it on another different ref plane...   by now  that's not posible, the paste option is not more activated once I have changed my ref plane..

3. How can I set a curved workplane, I mean, if I want to set a face of my mass as my current workplane (to start drawing on it, or to make a void) and that face is slgthly curved I cant set it.... tha´s bringing me  a real problem...  Ihave to be possible to set a face as work plane even if it is curved.

Sorry, but I'm really having trouble following your diagram and identifying what you are actually trying to create?

 

Remembering with the conceptual mass its easy to work with a simple solid and use the xray model to add profiles, edges and grips to create more complex forms.  In this screen shot I just created a simply sweep by drawing a path on level 1 and using the first point to host a profile.  Then I created form and modified the end profile to have a different profile.  I could also grab the intermediate nodes and give them elevations to create a 3D path.

 

Work planes are a lot less constraining in this environment.

Thanks for replying, but this is not what I'm asking.... maybe I wasn´t clear... ok

 

my 3 doubts described before are general doubts, that surged just playing with the masses...

 

but are very important to solve to start modeling my project...

1. how to draw for example a line  starting in one workplane and end that line in other plane, I mean, like in sketch up modeling ....

or you can´t in revit??, that would be a big constraint if you couldn´t..

2. how can you copy a form form one refernce plane to another??

3. how can i set a curved face as my current workplane?, to draw in it

If i understood correctly your questions:

1: like you can see in my first image you can draw whatever you want starting in one level and finish in other level, just set your work plan, go to a elevation view then draw like you want, then you can adjust the path, edge, points like you want.

 

2: Watch image 2 and 3, it's just a copy / paste by levels

 

3: To answer this question watch this: http://autodesk-revit.blogspot.com/2010/10/revit-2011-sketch-on-non-planar-surface.html

thank you!!

 

the third"answer" about the question of drawing on a curved surface is only available for the subsciption andvantage pack... m Sad is there another way to do it?

 Thank you for your time! I´m just new on it, getting started
