Revit Irregular-shaped column and grid

rahiletugce — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 11:37:05 GMT

There are non-rectangular corner columns in my project. The exterior walls of the building are at an angle. How can I model my columns? Can I bring my axis line straight up from the column to give dimensions to my axis lines? I hope someone knows how to do it? Thank you

Not sure what the problem is? You can model the column as outlined in the screenshot.

If I understood you well you ask how someone has to place the Grids.

I can show you how I'll do it...

First of all the Grids have to placed along the Structural Beams (in my screencast I did it along the wall axis, supposing that the Beams are on top of these walls). Then follow my screencast ....

Yes you can use the Multi-Segment option when Creating Grids as you Sketch the Grid Path

As regards the Column you could simply use Model In-Place Component and create an Extrusion or create your own Custom Column Family by Editing an existing rectangular Column Family to suit your needs
