(Start things off with a pun)
We've a new project on the books & I've spied a nice little design opportunity that also poses a nice classic (Revit) challenge. Classic as in I'm not reaching out for, or expecting, "a computational solution". That's been done by some chap in Grasshopper, for different purposes, already - but perhaps I'll be proved wrong.
The opportunity? The Barre.
Just the Barre?

Well I've near-exactly the above as line-based casework already. So no... I'm thinking more the whole "system":
barre_mirror_curtai.JPG
Mirror, skirting (possibly trunking also), dado, support arms, curtain rail, curtain...
So, and remembering I'm a bit freak for cwps, am I masochistic, or God-forbid "wrong" in the eyes of all-things "good bim", thinking this is all well within the power of a railing? Perhaps. Or if I, and I should, want (nested shared family) elements on appropriate categories, perhaps an elaborate Line-based creation?
Or should I just:
1. place the mirrors each; any number of ways: finish walls, cwp, l-b, or f-b,
2. place the barre itself seperately; perhaps as a rail, or l-b,
3. place the curtain rail seperately; perhaps as a rail, with the curtain the start baluster? or l-b,
4. place any trunkings seperately; l-b, (railings a no-no for subsequent hosting no?)
5. place any skirting seperately; wall-sweep
I'm all ears. This is all just a bit of fun.
