- [Instructor] In this lesson we're going to actually draft a profile and test the model to make sure it works. It's time to add the lines to the family. It's funny, because this seems like the most important part. Of course it's important. However, having the structure underlining the actual drafting makes for an unbreakable family. It doesn't go without saying that the lines do have to be somewhat drawn in a specific manner. And we're going to cover that. The objective of this exercise is to create the linework for our profile, and to flex the family, to make sure it doesn't break when we use it in our project. So, following along with the Cove file, I want to start drawing some lines. Revit is smart enough to know if we start drawing from point to point, to point, to point, it will append those lines to those reference planes. We want to flex it and make sure, because this is Revit and it doesn't work 100% of the time.…
