OK, perhaps I’m just easily impressed, but I wanted to share my favorite Revit family now that I’ve seen it posted on-line.

I realize that it’s not complex and I’ve seen many families which were MUCH more amazing.  But in terms of raw functionality and need, few families have been needed more.  This family is a line that as you stretch it will duplicate text along the line. It may be a gas line, air, the letter “X”… or whatever….  you can easily stretch it and document the design on the screen.  Like I said, maybe I’m just easily impressed, but I’m more easily impressed by items that directly address our needs and overcome program limitations than by complex, parametric wonders.
