Curved Angled wall

[Anonymous]

Can anyone help with creating a curved angled wall with a curve to the base.  On plan the wall is curved and in section it is angled at 60 degrees.  Where it meets the floor there is a 1m radius curve. I've attached a sketch to show this.

Using massing I can do the curved angled wall bit it is just adding the curve at the bottom I can't get my head around.

Has anyone got any ideas please?

Thanks

I think the easiest way to do this would be an in-place family. You should be able to do this shape as a simple sweep. the plan is the path of the sweep and the profile is what you are showing as the section.

You can use the sweep command to create this wall.  Use generic model rfa family template file or use mass rft template file as a start point.

see revit file attached...

Thanks Dzan

That is what I need albeit the wall slopes in the opposite way.

Can you explain the steps as to how to make that please?

Decide if you want to do an in-place family (e.g theres only 1 instance of this wall or you wont need this shape again) or a generic family (Many instances of the wall, or need to use it again in other projects or something)

For in place go to the architecture tab - component - model in place - walls

Create tab - sweep

sketch path in modify tab - in ref plane sketch your line as in plan view (your sweep) - green tick that when youre done

back in modify tab select edit profile - revit should give you the option of going into a section view (north, south), choose one and sketch your section (your profile) as is in your section view. Make sure the corner of your profile is attached to your sweep then green tick everything and you should have your sweep, super simple. 

If you want to create a family instead ignore the first line and instead new family - generic model or mass and follow the steps again

p.s I really wish i had screencast to show you but unfortunately my company dont let me install things

I'VE DONE IT!!!!

OMG the feeling is wonderful when something goes right in Revit.  My friend and I who have been stuck on this for days have been dancing round the office with people giving us weird looks 

I followed this tutorial http://www.revitzone.com/conceptual-design/144-forms-creating-a-sweep in order to create the generic mass in my template then I turned the generic mass into a wall using the wall by face under the massing tab.  I just need to figure out how to put openings into it now.

Thanks for all your help.
