Create walls and floors of a sweep blend building shape

I want to create a building with a sweep blend form. I created the overall form with sweep blend by model in place. I encountered two problems.

1. I cannot make the ends of the shape parallel of the levels.

2. How can I create floors with the outline of the sweep blend in betwwen? I could not pick line when creating floor.

 

Thank you.

You cannot use model in place if you want to create building objects from the form.  You need to use In-Place Mass from the Conceptual Mass panel in the Massing&Site tab.  You will have to edit a basic extrusion but you should be able to create the same shape by using the editing tools.  Once you are happy with the object you can then select create Mass floors and it will create a Mass floor at any level that intersects the object.  Now you can select any of the faces and create Revit geometry based on those Mass shapes by using the Model by Face panel.

I tried to create the form using the in-place mass. I wanted the level 1 profile to have a smooth blend with level 2 profile. Then the blend tangent with a straight extrusion to level 3 profile. But I could only create below shape with a simple blend of three profiles. How should I create that? Thanks,

Inside the modify form there are tools to slice into the object. Add Edge slices vertically and Add Profile slices horizontally.  You should be able to slice horizontally and then edit the profile.  If it does not work as you would like, you may have to make two separate in-place masses.

I'm not following, but I'll throw this out for your consideration: Subtractive Massing. In other words, can you get there by using Void Masses to cut away and shape the Solid Mass ?
