didko Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hi guys, I need some help if it could be possible. There's a figure that I'm trying to model in AutoCAD, save as .DWG and use in Revit Architecture as base for modelling some walls/roofs. The only problem is that I was only possible to make it a mesh, but Revit requires the 3D object to be a Solid, and it seems like I can' think of a way of modelling it as a solid, so I'm uploading it here. If You have some spare time to take a look at it it will be great Thank You. P.S. I've tried the Mesh2Solid LISP, but the result it generates is too complex to be used (too many edges, etc.) make_me_solid.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgarjr Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I gave it a shot using the regular Loft command. make_me_solid.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didko Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 It's FLAWLESS!!! Thank You so much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Rgarjr, I see you were able to make that into a solid, but I can't seem to duplicate it myself, could you explain more how you did it with loft. or anyone if you know how it was done, I just can't seem to duplicate the result, and I don't like not being able to do something....LOL Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 if you make the end rectangle and the base trapezoid either closed plines or regions, then explode the surface that is there and use both curves as guides you should be able to reproduce that solid. worked for me anyways.

GhostRider Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thanks Shift, I understand now, I was doing something wrong, still not sure what, maybe selecting in the wrong order, it kept giving an error and wouldn't complete the solid..

shift1313 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 i believe which ever closed pline object you select first, must be coincident with your guide lines at the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgarjr Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I just converted the objects in yellow to 2 regions and then just used the cross section on the loft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
