To the Revit programmers and software designers...

WELL DONE!

Hurrah! If any of you are at RTC'10 in Manly, Australia I will personally buy you a beer!

Revit 2011 is a fantastic release, I'm loving Ribbon MK2, love the new rendering modes, love the new functions in families, love the new conceptual modelling improvements, love the new selection improvements, love the new flyouts like Properties (YAY!) love the dual-screen performance!

Cheers and thanks for a great release!

two walls, both face out, then join geometry?

Look what I did...

:)

Now, who wants to know how?

i don't understand- what's the big deal?

[Anonymous]

Nope. It's sneakier than that.

V2, is the top coping on your wall flat and level as it moves on the curve- it looks odd where the curve adjoins the level surface? And, I can only see one side of your wall, is the hatch pattern properly displaying on the back side? Can you post your rvt file as well?

[Alfredo_Medina]

Vector,

The challenge is this: to have a swept blend wall display a hatch pattern correctly on both sides of the wall at the same time. A user in this thread says this is a consistent bug in the last 3 releases. Bob seems to have a solution.

The wall you posted does not comply with the challenge, it´s not a swept blend. Fail.

[Alfredo_Medina]

I know what you did! Kind of funny, but interesting! Well, that´s a solution.

[Alfredo_Medina]

Very clever, indeed!

[Alfredo_Medina]

Well, actually, Bob´s wall is not a swept blend either. But his solution is valid. The wall is there, it has the same geometry has if it had been done with a swept blend operation, and it does show the hatch pattern correctly on both sides. Bingo!

And, I've put a cap on it...which is really a clue as to how it was done. 😉 Here it is in "realistic" view.

Well, it's not REALLY a swept blend- but I couldn't have made it without a swept blend!!! 😉

(I do hope the original poster is reading this thread eventually so he can remedy his curved walls in the future...I'll reveal my strategy soon- though by posting the rvt file I kind of gave it away huh?... but I like to make people think...and I'd rather people have the lightbulb go on over their heads by their own free will and thought process than having me flick a switch.)

[Alfredo_Medina]

Yes, I know exactly what you did. You're the man!

[Anonymous]

you talking about this?

i don't understand what you are talking about..

[Anonymous]

Robert-

i need residential construction knowledge and
how to represent construction on a sheet..

how do i deal with that?

maybe i should have went with Chief Architect
five years ago?

[Alfredo_Medina]

Yes, in this picture you posted, even though the wall is thicker than The Great Wall of China, shows the problem in the hatch pattern that the user was reporting as a bug.

[Anonymous]

okay i think is see what you are talking about.. lol

[Alfredo_Medina]

Don't you see the blocks getting smaller as they get closer to the short end? Blocks are not made of plastic. That's the bug.

[Anonymous]

i still don't see any bug.. unless this is without
that bug or something.. Edited by: Discussion_Admin on Apr 27, 2010 10:22 AM

Right, which is what this topic has become. What you've shown here is the
exact same work-around the Robert posted earlier. Not a bug.

The bug is when using an in-place family swept-blend, or a wall by face on a
swept-blend mass, the surface patterns conform and distort to the shape of
the blend. This has been demonstrated here many times by many users,
including you.

image capability?
