Awning for deck

[AbdenourX8E3K]

Hi Revit Savvy's!

I wonder what's the cleanest way to model this awning/pergola, curtain wall maybe?! 

Please let me know if you have a better approach

Thanks a lot

I would just do Model in Place and select specific types (Beam, Lights, Generic Model  etc...) and you can add parameters as required... But if the client is paying a million dollars for this, you can do something a lot more elaborate but I don't see why they would... Curious what others will say honestly, good post sir!

Both of the following are easy/easiest/same easiness:

1. Roof / Sloped Glazing
2. Beam System

You should also be able to pull it off with

• a Pattern Based Family on a Divided surface of a mass (Slightly more work but would save you lots of time later)
• An array in a Generic Model
• An adaptive family (incase you want to go crazy and randomize sizes, shapes and angles

I would definitely say a curtain system, and create the custom panels and "mullions" needed. That way you could easily modify it if needed.

I would create curtainwall and use the mullion to divide them. See attached
