Cornice elements are created using a wall sweep element, from Revit Ribbon > Build Panel > Wall Sweep

The wall sweep element uses a default profile, a simple rectangle. But if you need to create a custom profile, you'll need to follow these steps:

• Create a new family

• select appropriate family template, a hosted profile

• Use line tool to create the profile shape, make sure it is a closed loop

• Save the profile to your computer and load into the project

• Change the wall sweep profile to your preferred profile

• Start creating cornice elements where required
