Hi there,I am currently still pretty new to Revit and I am having an issue with creating a radial array with a spline around a curved surface. The problem I have is that the curved surface that the splines are resting on is at an angle and the surface gets much wider below. This means that the spline path won't reach the edges. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was such a thing as a path array where I could pattern or array the path around the object and then do a swept blend just picking each path that way?? I feel this would be the easiest method if I knew how to do it. Thanks for your help.Ben

Ben, I'm not clear what you want to array along the spline path, but my first thought was that might explore using Railing tool to distribute a Baluster family along a spline path. Do you get the concept?

You can only array along a straight line or a single radial curve. I believe you could achieve what you are trying to do using an adaptive line based family but you would need some pretty complicated parameters i would assume to have something spaced evenly along the spline and not just at the nodes you place.
