Hey guys - can you help me out.  I am unsure how to add crown molding to cabinetry?  Also, the cabinetry in the library is pretty basic.  Is there a way to import an existing model from a library and remodel it to what I want it to look like?  IE open cabinets....etc?? Thanks! - Matt

Sure, you can open up pretty much anything in revit, and take a stab at improving it.  It's a good way of learning how families are put together, though it might be a little confusing at first. 

Reverse engineering was the #1 contribution to my understanding of family-building.  usually stemming from blowing up people's good models, thinking I knew better, and then trying to reconstruct the functionality I destroyed. 

You could make open cabinets, sure.  And complicated molding could be achieved with sweeps and "pick 3D path".  There are some good tutorials for family building.  Even straight from autodesk.
