■ If specified, Revit Architecture does not retain the end point value during creation of the extrusion. If
you need to make multiple extrusions with the same end point, first sketch the extrusions, then select
them, and then apply the end point.
Creating a Blend
For information about using blends in families, see The Families Guide on page 418.
The Blend tool blends 2 profiles (boundaries) together. For example, if you sketch a large rectangle and a
smaller rectangle on top of it, Revit Architecture blends the 2 shapes together.
