Sketching A Partial Ellipse - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

NOTE Offset for an ellipse is only available when you select the Pick Lines option.
When you create a full ellipse with an offset, the result is a spline. For example, if you create
a mass element as a full ellipse with an offset and then attempt to create a wall on the face
of the mass element, the ellipse is not considered contiguous, as shown in the following
image.
3 Click in the drawing area to specify the center of the ellipse.
Snapping is enabled for the ellipse, and a preview ellipse displays.
4 Move the cursor away from the center in any direction.
An editable listening dimension displays the radius of the major axis.
5 Either click when the desired radius value displays, or type a value and press Enter.
6 Again, move the cursor away from the center in any direction.
An editable listening dimension displays the radius of the minor axis.
7 Either click when the desired radius value displays, or type a value and press Enter.
