HELP WITH THIS PANELIZATION

lynsher — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 21:53:13 GMT

Hi all:

I need to know, how to do this, as u may see, there are several joinings between panels, and besides i need to preserve the direction of the lines that are inside each panel. Finally i need to know the height and width of each panel, is it possible to get it using a conceptual mass?

if it is, how do i do it? and do i apply it to my walls. Please help

Note: I have already solved the aluminium framing but in this moment im stuck with this panelization!!!

Regarding your second question; use shared parameters in family to report Height and Width in project schedules. Regarding your first question; I don't understand what you're saying, and it's not clear from your picture.

Okay, so swap out "separations" for "joinings". Still, what do you want to do exactly?

OK, ill explain you point by point and sorry for my delay i was thinking all night about how to make this possible.

* I need to make the panelization of this wall using this triangular patron. Notice that the triangles are not of the same size.

* Each triangle panel have lines on it, so each one has a sense as you can see on the picture.

I tried using courtain wall but im only able to make rectangular shapes.

So finally. How do i get this? should i use courtain wall or what should i use?

Regards.

The solution you choose should be based on the criteria of how accurate your physical 3D model must be.

Please watch the screencast video I just made for you...

If he uses curtain walls then a curtain panel schedule will report the size of each panel. No need for additional parameters.

@ToanDN, I think you are on the wrong thread. I never mentioned curtain panels on this one. That was another thread.

Did I say "If" in my statement? You are familiar with If/Then condition formula, are you not?

Sorry, @ToanDN, don't get your panties in a knot. I was simply responding to your post to me in which you quoted me. I never spoke of curtain walls here, so understandably I was confused how that quote of mine related to your curtain wall comment. I did offer up Curtain Walls as a possible solution on another thread yesterday. You participated in that thread as well. That's why I connected the dots the way did. Understand, Buddy?

@barthbradley

I don't wear panties like you do so nothing got to a knot. You don't need to concern. I quoted you because you suggested an approach that is not needed IF the OP uses curtain walls and curtain panels for his panels. Got it? No?

Anything you can model with regular family modeling tools can be modeled into a curtain wall panel.

Here is a panel made with swept cylinders...

The real trick is figuring out how to make it flex appropriately with changing panel size. Not a problem with a simple flat, continuous, rectangular panel. You simply align/lock the edges of an extrusion to the four perimeter reference planes. But it takes clever planning and fancy implementation to make something irregular that flexes properly.
