    How can I achieve this roof shape with mass family?

    I'm trying to achieve a simple stadium roof shape but Revit's intelligent "Create Form" command doesn't help.


    I've drawn few reference lines but it doesn't seem to work.

    I believe you have to sweep a profile on that reference line. Or better on a plane of a point, hosted on that line. Since you have to draw the profile on that plane....
    In that respect you have to select the reference line, each by each and they have to match perfectly otherwise Revit would not do the job for you.
    If I watch...I dream, if I listen...I think, if I do ...I learn.

      Hi. That's what I did. If you see the attached images, I am showing different combinations of the curves that drawn and what the result of each combo was. I agree that sweep profile is the proper way to do it, but while I am in the mass family editor there is no option to choose the way I want to create the form. There is only the "Create Form" button which supposes to be intelligent and identify the forming method, but apparently, it is not. Or at least, the methodology of combining curves is not using common sense.

        OK. I managed to do it. It seems that Revit was getting confused because the lines were intersecting. As soon as I moved the profile a bit further off the guideline it worked.
