About this asset

This Cimalha profile is a Revit family component designed for wall sweeps, featuring a classic cove geometry for interior detailing. The Cimalha profile presents a clean, architectural geometry defined by a concave arc transitioning into a stepped rectangular section. This profile is intended for use as a decorative wall sweep or cornice, providing a subtle transition between wall and ceiling surfaces. Its design is strictly functional, focusing on the cross-sectional form required for sweeping along host elements in a BIM environment. The geometry is clean and lacks excessive vertices, ensuring efficient performance when loaded into project files or used to define complex sweep paths across interior walls.

The download is a 102 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 implement this profile in Revit, load the RFA file into your project or template. Once loaded, access the wall sweep or wall reveal tools and select this profile from the type selector. It can be applied to wall types as a hosted sweep or used within the family editor to create custom cornices. Ensure the profile orientation is correct relative to the host wall by adjusting the profile offset and rotation settings within the sweep properties.

This profile is suited for residential and commercial interior projects where traditional or transitional cornice detailing is required. It is commonly used for wall-to-ceiling transitions, crown mouldings, or as a decorative base element in lobby areas and living rooms. Professionals can utilise this component to streamline the creation of precise, repeatable wall details during the design development or construction documentation stages of a project, ensuring consistent architectural finishes throughout the building model without the need for manual in-place modelling.
