2 Surface Rotation Required For Geometry.

[Anonymous]

I would like to have 2 surface of a geometry to be rotated by parameter. Is conceptual mass easier to handle or generic model? Appreciate all advices and comments.

Depends upon what the family is meant to do. Please share an image / screenshot / family to illustrate what it is that you are trying to achieve.

Thanks for your response. Please see enclosed photo. This geometry was built by conceptual mass and I would like to have the two end surface to be able to rotate horizontally. Any solutions?

Is it the same question you asked in the other thread? Can you draw an axis of rotation on that sketch because "rotate horizontally" is not very clear?

[Anonymous]

Yes, same question in other thread. Hope the enclosed sketch clear enough. Thanks for responding.

The family can be a generic family, with additional reference planes and reference lines, to create two voids, one on the North side of the object, in plan view, and another one on the South. Both voids should have one side that is aligned and locked to a reference line, whose angle of rotation is controlled by a parameter. By doing this, the section of the shape remains the same (the profiles), and the two faces, North and South will be cut by the voids.

Thank you. I will be glad if you could share the working file as seem I not able to create rotation parameter at both end.

Sorry, I don't have the file. I usually don't save these Revit exercises, just the images with the ideas. 

However, I can share this video that I made in 2015. I hope it helps.

Yes, I watch this video before and thanks again...
