Creating Pyramid Shapes in Revit: A Step-by-Step Guide

BIM Software Tip: How to Create Pyramid Elements in REVIT

When designing certain families, you may need to create pyramid-shaped elements. So, how do you approach this? You might think of using the “Loft” tool—as it’s often suggested. However, the “Loft” function requires two closed contours rather than just points, which complicates creating a pyramid.

So, how can you easily create a pyramid in REVIT? The answer is simple: just use the “Sweep” tool. Below is a step-by-step demonstration on how to create a triangular pyramid.

1. First, create a path that outlines the base contour of the triangular pyramid.

2. Next, enter the contour editing mode. Draw the contour as shown in the image below, then click Finish.
