I was wondering if anyone new of a way to make a continuous sweep element such as edge angle that is not a model in place family or individual "elements" at corners.  I would like to be able to draw lines for the member (generic model?) on multiple faces and have them join to appear mitered?

 

Any ideas. . . it works great when it is an inplace family, but i cannot figure out how to have multiple segments in a family (variying in quantity).

 

Thanks, GReg

Your question is not very clear.  You want a sweep but not a model in-place.  You say model-in-place works but not for multiple segments.  Both of these are contradicting.  A description or images of your desired end results would help.

WWHUB,

 

Thanks for the reply, i agree that I did not articulate very well.  I attached a .dwfx file of a model-in-place component.  I would like to have a family that would allow me to input this in a similar way.  For the model in place, I chose sweep and sketched my path, then chose my profile.  When I sketch my path I can choose a line with as many segments as i would like.

 

I would like to use a family in lieu of model in place.  Is there a family or an option that will put me in a sketch mode?

I think modeled in place is the way to do this.  There's nothing wrong with modeling in place, and I can't imagine a way of making this work without something like adaptive components, which would be much more trouble than its worth. 

 

What are you trying to model?

i was hoping to have nice clean miscellaneous steel in the model for our architects.  Everytime you make model in place components , they require a uniqu name.  I gues I was hoping to have an option of "laying out" via a sketch or something.  Thanks for your thoughts.
