I have a project in which I'd like to achieve a very similar facade style as the following image:
It's an angular facade with a permeated mesh for a finish. I need to achieve this with a 'random' appearance so that no pattern is visible in the form. Most definitely on struggle street as to the best possible workflow. Ideally this would be an aspect of the design I could change regularly without having to remodel each time.
Kind Regards,
Nathan
P.S: I'm using Revit 2014!
I suggest to use In Place Mass:

Nicely done, Constantin.
If the OP wants to take it a step further, he could create an adaptive component and place it at each level, then create a mass from each of those. The adaptive component could be based on anything (distance from the ground, solar exposure, views, etc.), to that at least the design is responding to something, even if the final result appears random. There's gotta be a method to the madness.
OP, if you're interested in following that path, set aside some time to read through Zac Kron's blog (link). He does a lot of adaptive component manipulation, which is about the only way to get "random" results without spending thousands of hours manually manipulating your model. Work smarter, not harder. Here's a link to something a little closer to what you're trying to do. Search the blog for adaptive components.
you are right Ross...The idea can be developed so to can change randomly , maybe even a sort of kinetic pattern.....
Thanks for the tip...I 'll have( again) a look on Zach Kron's blog....it's a fascinating experience.....

Thank you so much guys! I've scoured the Buildz blog (Zach Kron's blog) and couldn't find anything that nailed what I'm trying to achieve, that's one blog I regularly! I did try something like this previously (albeit without adaptive components) The issue I had is that those four-sided shapes had a curve in them (due to points being on different axes) is there anyway for these shapes to be trangulated automatically? This would prevent the curved panels.
Thanks again!
