It's going to represent a built-up crown molding, and then we're going to use that on a sweep to create a crown molding in a project file. So to start with, we're going to bring in some 2D detail item families that represent individual standard lumber sections like what you see here in this diagram. Then we're going to use those shapes to create the profile, what I've highlighted here in red, and that profile is what will ultimately shape the wall sweep. But when we section through that wall sweep, because of the nested 2D detail items that are within it, it will look as though we've created it as a built-up molding from several pieces of lumber. So let's go ahead and jump over to Revit and get started here. So the first thing we need to do is create a new family. So I'm going to go to File, highlight New, and choose Family.
