Working With Autodesk Revit Moulding Profiles

Autodesk Revit is the easiest way for those working in architecture, engineering, and construction to model metal mouldings onto their project. Trying out the famous Dahlstrom catalog of 1,400+ moulding profile shapes has never been easier. 

Below we’ve compiled resources for using our Revit files and increasing productivity through effective Building Information Modeling (BIM) management. We recommend you start with the video on creating a moulding profile in Revit. If you’d like to receive a full suite of working files, click below for a free download:

Creating an Autodesk Revit Moulding Profile

Wondering how to select a Dahlstrom moulding profile as a .dwg file and create a Revit moulding family from it? We show you in this video.  

This guide provides information on applying Dahlstrom metal mouldings to common architectural elements, allowing designers to evaluate trim moulding profiles in the BIM model. Use CAD data to turn a .dwg drawing of a moulding profile into a 3D extrusion for wall surfaces, baseboard mouldings, doors, and window trim!

The decorative metal mouldings you see are from our online store selection.

How to Create a Wall Sweep Profile in Revit

You can now easily apply Revit crown moulding profiles, along with other types of interior mouldings.

Here is a quick overview of how to import Dahlstrom architectural mouldings onto the wall surfaces of Revit projects.

Using the Window Sampler File

Do you know how to can select, change, and insert sampler files into your Revit window project? Here is a brief overview. The example uses a single-hung window.

The window sampler family file contains a window with interchangeable sweep profiles of selected Dahlstrom metal moulding profiles.

Adding a Dahlstrom Profile as a Revit Window Detail

This overview covers applying mouldings as Revit window detail components in a new window sweep. With this step-by-step guide, you can use Dahlstrom custom metal moulding profiles on any existing window you have.


Using the Autodesk Revit Door Family

This is a video overview on selecting a Dahlstrom moulding profile in a Revit 3-panel door. Our door Revit files contain interchangeable sweep profiles of metal mouldings.
