Hi There. I'm trying to create a curved column cladding with a bespoke perforated pattern. I've modeled this before in Sketchup using the Shape Bender plugin (see attached) and now I'm trying to recreate in Revit and I'm not sure where to start! The pattern is vector, drawn as an unrolled elevation in Autocad. It will be made from a laser cut metal panel which is then curved so it's important that the pattern is wrapped around the curve rather than being projected onto it. Really will appreciate any advice, thank you!
Hi ToanDN. From all my internet trawling, that seems to be the way to do it. I'm fairly new to Revit so it just seemed like there should be a way to bend a flat pattern and then cut into the surface like you do in other 3D modeling software. Thanks for your response.
Hi ToanDN. So I've worked with the material cutout solution. It sort of works but I can't work out how to control the setout point for the material asset on the column. The pattern I've created is the exact size of a half column casing. Please see screenshot.
