The ellipse tool, standard for details lines and sketches, just use the slit element tool on it.

thanks myalterego- are you talking about making the line
into multiple segments with different radiuses? vs. one smooth
arch?

One smooth arch. What you've shown is half an ellipse. You also have splines as an option for lines, though they aren't acceptable for sketches, IE the path of a sweep.
If you want to model objects with spline-like curves, it's best to draw the path as a detail line, and build the path of your sweep/whatever over the top with arcs. Revit's handy curve-snapping makes this look pretty good, and the geometry is 100x more simple.

yes i traced those curves with a spline and made the extrusion-
but i would like a more accurate curve.. do you know of a way
to make a line- (detail or sketch)- that has lots of various radiuses
on it?
maybe some kind of formula with distance and radius or something..
okay forget that ellipse- this line i made with a spline but i need the
variable radius more accurate..
