I recently posted on how Revit users could create line-based objects with complex line styles using text characters to represent a variety of site services on drawings.
This post can be accessed here:
Whilst useful , this approach only created straight line segments whereas sometimes these symbols need to be applied to a curve. Whilst tags can sometimes serve this purpose this is not always an ideal workflow.
The good news is that a similar approach can be applied to a curve or spline element and Revit’s adaptive component family! The process is outline here in a simple diagram. Using a nested annotation family in an adaptive component can provide a patterned line tool.
Fig. Creating a curved line with repeated symbols requires using nested families.
I have written a whitepaper describing this process and may be of use to any user of Revit whatever the background or discipline.
