Plasitc walls in Revit

I had the opportunity to look at some curvious walls that slant and curve.
Is there a tutorial available to allow me to learn to do this?

TIA

look into in-place family walls, made of sweeps and blends.

Not quite what I a referring to these are simple walls with sweeps profiles
and blends you mentioned. I am referring to an entire wall undulating by
slanting back and forth along a curve. Rather an "organic" form.

some thing like this example? This is an in-place wall, made of a solod
blend. Top and bottom shapes are splines.

Yes! Blends? Is there any tutorials on this topic that allow us to apply
these to walls and curtain walls? What about tutorials on torqued
structures?

TIA

Curtain walls are even easier....use the Ruled Curtain System tool. You can
pick or draw the top and bottom 'lines' to define the ruled curtain system.
Revit will then fill in between these lines with a curtain system that
conforms to the undulating shapes you've drawn.

The shape I drew was a wall! It was an in-place family, of the Wall
catagory, using a Solid Blend. It will host doors and windows and other
wall based objects. Its simply two closed shapes. One defines the top of
the wall, the other the bottom. Revit fills in the solid in between.

Thanks Scott,

I will investigate these two methods.

Also look into the 'Curtain System by Face' tool with the Massing. You can get many very organic shapes by creating a Mass, and then using that to generate the Curtain System.

Also Curtain Systems made via Lines don't schedule, and can't have a type (where the grid is automatic). The ones by Face can have these things.

Can't find what you're looking for? Ask the community or share your knowledge.
