Vault family

Anonymous — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 09:06:37 GMT

Hi to everyone, I have to create a void family to subtract to the pavement with this kind of section.

It s a vault with two different extrusions made by two arches (yellow and blue)

The plan where has to be placed is rectangular.

Which approach do you suggest to model that?

Thank you to all the community.

Can you explain a bit more, or do a sketch?

Hi Bin, I need to model this type of vault.

Basically it s a keel vault plus a barrel vault on the top placed in a rectangular plan...

Thank you for the contribution.

I just managed to reach this point of modeling... I need to connect the two vaults together with a red surface.

There s a way to do that?

Thanks, Bin, and everyone who contributes.

If it's always rectangular on the plan, I would suggest not using the adaptive family. Just create a face based generic model.

Also, is it going to be parametric? If you change the size of the vault, how will all the radius change?

First of all, thank you very much for the contribution and for the file that u made !

As you can see The plan is not perfectly rectangular cause it 's an old building...so probably it would be better an adaptive family.What do u think... it is worth the risk going with adaptive family ?

Then yes it has to be parametric cause I need to use it for other ceilings of the building.

thanks again

The vault ceiling is for the big room in the middle
