corrugated metal sheet roofing

[sakar_deepak]

Hi friends

What is the best way to create corrugated metal sheet roofing on a rectangular roof sloping on all four sides as shown in attached pic ?

@sakar_deepak Hi

i can think of at least 10!ways to do that but I do not see one way better than the other or best and worst ways....it is more like what does one need to get out of this model?

1. Just info
2. OR one wants a top notch cool looking roof detailed so fine that one can go brag about it on every forum and blog?

sometime a texture on a roof with a bump is more than enough and at other times all the adaptive panels in the world isn't ... it is similar to saying "We are using Revit and BIM is a requirement so 2D drafting should be avoided" And they go modeling everything in 3D!

Best is to mode what suits the purpose, the budget and LOD defined in the contract

Thanks for the reply @RDAOU.

The purpose is to model a proper corrugated metal sheet roofing system with all components like roof sheeting, purlins and rafter etc..  

[RDAOU]

In that case I would model the panels either/or of the following

1. A generic Adaptive component
2. A pattern based generic model
3. A curtain Panel

all theee would provide more or less similar output in terms of detailing 

edit:

1. I think I saw someone recently commenting on a related post where a user shared a corogated panel. Maybe you can try that one 
2. there is also one post on corrugated sheets which was answered by @ToanDN using generic face based family arrays (I think) which looked quite neat...hard to get you the link cuz I'm on iPhone maybe Toan can help

I honestly don't remember the particular post of mine that @RDAOU has mentioned.  But below are several valueable ones:

This one you already knew.

And, all the options @RDAOU refering to are possible solutions, which one to pick depends on the complexity of your design and your skillset at each tool.

It is actually this POST which I was refering to: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-architecture-forum/cutting-an-arrayed-family-with-a-void/m-p/68...

Sorry I was driving and it is kinda hard to look up a post and copy paste link while driving 🙂

Prost!

@RDAOU 

As you suggested , i tried the curtain panel method, but it pops up following message when i replace the curtain panel with new 'corrugated panel'

" Loaded family curtain panels cannot be used in non-rectangular cells of the curtain host. Type-driven panels from non-rectangular cells were unlocked and left unchanged. " 

What is the way to correct this ?

Hello,

I totally agree with you.  The model roof must have these qualities:

1. A generic Adaptive component
2. A pattern based generic model
3. A curtain Panel

Thanks,
