How to Draw Revit Doric Columns
The Doric column might appear complex at first, but the process is actually straightforward. Start by drawing the column shaft using the array tool, then create either the upper or lower part of the column, and finally apply the mirror tool to complete the design.
Begin by creating a new family template and selecting the metric standard model.
On the reference plane, draw a circle with a diameter of 450 to form the column shaft. Adjust its height to 5000.
Next, draw a semicircle with a radius of 40 using the hollow stretching method at the reference elevation, then set its height to 5000. Use a radial array to replicate the semicircle around the column shaft, filling in the hollow sections.
At this point, the column shaft is complete.
Now, proceed to draw the upper part of the column using the rotation tool. In the front elevation view, draw the rotation path as specified, add the rotation axis, and complete the upper column section.
The lower part of the column is created similarly to the upper part but can be done using the mirror tool. Set a reference line to find the centerline, then use the mirror picking axis to reflect the lower part.
Finally, use the mirror tool to copy the lower half of the column, completing the Doric column design.
