Bending extrusion with pattern

[Anonymous]

Hello, I have a panel made with an extrusion in family. On this panel there is an pattern. 
However, now I want to allign that panel to a curved wall.. I was wondering if this is possible...?

It belongs to the framing families, not the truss family.

Are you talking about a Pattern-Based Curtain Panel that that is used in Divided Surfaces?

Uhmm no I used family>create: extrusion: made a panel and put the patterns in it

Uhmm no I used family>create: extrusion: made a panel and put the patterns in it. So it became a perforated panel

I think you post on the wrong topic?

Can you post the file please so we can see what you are doing?  

[Anonymous]

I attached a file with the problem. So the panel with the pattern should be attached to the curved wall. The panel will be the exterior cladding of the curved wall

Like this?

...or more like this?

...or more like this?

if so, Array.

Is this what you are aiming for? See attached

More like this! It will be the half of the circle filled with panels. How did you do this?

@barthbradley  ?

yes how can I achieve this? @barthbradley @syman2000 

[barthbradley]

Move the panel to where it should be in relation to the wall's exterior face, and then use the Linear Array Tool to array the Panel in the y-direction, and then Radial Array Tool to array all of the linear arrayed panels about the curved wall's center point axis in the x-direction.  That make sense? 

[barthbradley]

did you notice the RVT that @syman2000 posted?  That's another approach you could use. 

[Anonymous]

Thank you for the explanation! I will try it!

Yes I saw the RVT file, I thought you both used the same method?
Has one method an advantage above the other?

Depends. Are you practiced with Curtain Walls? If not, then I would just Array the one you've already placed in the Project and then call it a day.  😉
