Curved Insulation

Few days ago, I've got to see a question about curved  insulation at RevitCity. I've never thought this kind of families are necessary before. I just answered the way I made curved frame can be used. It was just an idea, not tested.

So I tried to make one.

Step1.


At my 1st attempt, i just made a simple detail and arrayed it.

Ceiling Hangers in Revit

Most of Ceiling hangers have structures like above picture.
Is there anyone make this on 3D in Revit? I suppose not. If not, there must be several ways to describe this especially in section views.

General Methods


Method1 : Using detail lines- just like what we do in Autocad....
                  Why do you use Revit???

Method2 : Make one hanger with Detail Component and copy or array this in a project..
                 This could be the basic way in Revit. But too much works(copy&array).

Method3 : Using Repeating Detail Component.
                 This could be more convenient. But in some projects, many types required.

Method4 : Make parametric Detail family.
                 It works fine in most projects. But under sloped roofs or slabs?
