tiffy Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hello, I am an architecture student. Would it be possible to draw curved frame like this in REVIT 2011 and how do I go about in drawing this? (Later on, i would need to apply cladding and other sorts of beam...) I tried to draw in elevation view using Wall or Column command (like i would in Rhino or Maya) but it wouldn't let me... Please help... Thankyou!~~* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danellis Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I don't know if this method would translate from AutoCAD Architecture to Revit, but in ACA you define the curved path as a polyline, then convert that into the frame. dJE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Roy Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 The first thing that comes to my mind is the massing tools. ...mostly because I don't know what I'm looking at, so can't help beyond that. I don't understand what kind of "frame" it is. Is it a structure? If so, this might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffy Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Oh thank you guys!~~* Thankyou Fried, I'll try your suggestion. The curved frame it is the primary structure and there are beams running perpendicular to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 This isn't a curtain wall by any chance is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Roy Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 This isn't a curtain wall by any chance is it? That was my original thought that lead to my own confusion. I see now what it is. It's structural beams that curve around to form the walls and roof of the structure, so to speak. I like it. I think you need to do a family for it, in-place or not, and use the swept-blend tool. That's going to be your best bet, I believe. That's how I'd do it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
