Ameba Pool

With many options to choose from and many parameters to change, this ameba-shaped Revit pool family is ideal for residences, hotels, community centers, gyms, etc. Five types of handrails and three types of ladders are some of the features that are included in this parametric family. Additionally, this pool features drains and skimmers with hatches. The customizable size of the pool, along with the customizable width of the pool frame and the visibility of several parts of it (ladder, handrail and skimmers) will make this pool fit to any exterior space in your project. This family attaches to faces (floor for example) and it creates a hole in it automatically for ease of use.
