Hi. I'm Chad and I am the Revit manager for SERA Architects in Portland Oregon. We do alot of work with steel sections used as architectural facade elements. However, the structural steel in 8.1has proved difficult for us to control. Ideally, we would have access to the Steel manual 2d profiles of various sections and use that to create architectural steel extrusions. Is there a way to do this? I could import ADT detailer profiles, but I was hoping to stay in Revit. Anybody had a similar problem? Any thoughts would help. Thx

If they are custom/curved then simply create profiles for each of the sections. Then use in-place families and create sweeps of the profiles to achieve what your after. If there are identical beams that need to be repeated, create them externally and load them in. HTH.
