Hi, I am currently learning revit (using 2013) and I have a couple of questions that I am hoping I can get some answers

1) Is it possible to cut a curved section rather than an ortho section? How?

2) Is it possible to make a slanted wall without creating a family for it?

3) If I would like to install a recessed lightbox within a wall, how would I do it?)(the kind in like a film museum with a film strip on top of a light box)

Thank you in advanced

#1 - No

#2 - What do you mean slanted?  You can edit the profile of the wall to slat the top.

#3 - Families (like lights) can be created that cut their host.  I would suggest a face based family with a void to cut the host for the recess then add your light objects.

Thanks for the reply.

So I guess the way that is the closest to getting a Curved Section would just be using a Camera and do a section box into the space?

Or is there a better method of representation?

Thanks in advance.
