About this asset

This line-based Revit family provides a parametric wall sweep featuring a repeating decorative element with adjustable array spacing. This line-based Revit family is designed for architectural detailing along wall surfaces. It features a continuous linear backing profile with a recurring decorative vertical element. The geometry is constrained to a line-based host, allowing the user to draw the sweep to any length as required by the project. The family includes an integrated parameter for maximum array spacing, currently set to one foot, which ensures the repetitive elements maintain consistent intervals regardless of the total span. This component is ideal for adding depth and texture to facades or interior walls.

The download is a 563 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

To use this family, load the RFA file into your project and select the Wall Sweep tool or place it as a generic model line-based component. Once placed, drag the end handles to define the length of the sweep along a wall face. Use the properties palette to adjust the array spacing parameter if a different interval is needed. Ensure the family is assigned to the correct visibility category to manage graphics effectively in plans and sections.

This sweep is suitable for various architectural applications where repetitive decorative detailing is required, such as horizontal wall bands, exterior cladding features, or interior wainscoting and trim. It is useful during the design development and construction documentation stages to provide realistic detail in both 3D views and 2D sections. Professionals should search for this item when detailing wall assemblies, creating custom profiles for building envelopes, or adding refined architectural character to both residential and commercial interior or exterior wall surfaces.
