Dividing a Mass Surface With Proportional Squares

Hi
I don't speak english, and it can be a little confusing. I am here for clearing any doubts. And I can't find some answer in any forum...

 

I need to model a simple format mass, but when I divide it, the lines aren't proportional, like the images show below:

The lines for make the mass

The mass... Here it's ok! But after I divide it...

I need a hexagonal pattern, with equal sizes (or "the same sizes"), the next image shows the problem in other way

Well, the hexagons start in a size, but at the top they ends other size. Remembering I selected all the lines for make a mass, and its works like a unique mass, but when I divide it, the mass is separated in 4 parts too.

Hope you guys understand that, it's a big problem because it's will be my finale work on university...

 

Thank you so much.

Can you share the mass?

Sure!

But I made it in Revit 2014 version... And I can't to generate a IFC from a Familly 

Hope you can open that.

I can tell Revit splits the form because your reference curves are not a continuous curve, but two curves adjoining each other.

Regarding the pattern deformation, I don't know how to fix it given the form you provided.  Sorry.

Whoa, I didn't even think about it! I will work with the continuous lines while no one reply this.

Maybe it can change the pattern somehow...

 

Thank you so much for the help!

HOLY CRAP! DEFCON LVL5! END OF DAYS!

 

It can't be true. You know everything. Ev.er.y.thing. I mean I could drive home from a bad day at work, telling myself that everything was going to be okay, because Toan is out there looking out for us, watching over the Revit world. Now what am I going to do?

Well, I've found a soluction, not for this topic in especific, but In my case it works fine.

 

First I did look that page: http://grevity.blogspot.com.br/2013/06/
And I tryed to do something with lines and points.

So, I liked the result! It's hard and take a lot of time, but we have more control of the mass.


I set 3 plans to work. It was just a test, so I made something small:

E5.jpg

 

So I draw the lines, I forgot the line name... Spline, I guess. The important is put many points. I did draw one line then copy and pasted it.

E4.jpg

 

 

So, created the form

E6.jpg

 

 

And started to move each point from XYZ axes, with Revit refreshing the mass. Look the edges, still not curved, but using the edge point we can move X and Y axes to make a rounded line.

E2.jpg

 


Here the image with the edges moved above and the original points without X and Y axes moved.

E3.jpg


I moved others points above, I guess If I had more points it would be easer to reach the form that I wanted... And at finale, I divided it and selected the hexagonal pattern. There some places distorced, but I hope I can modeling it after.

Hope it can hel anyone else. I want to let the topic opened, if someone have a better soluction, because I believe that Autodesk made big stuff here, maybe have many options to do it.
Sorry about the english too! :S

This is one awesome post @italonge @ToanDN @chrisplyler (kudos x 3):smileyhappy: 

 

Hi @italonge 

You can also post to the Spanish forum for Revit - link HERE 

 

Thanks for sharing the step by step process on creating& dividing a mass surface, this is definitely a highlight to Revit's conceptual massing tools and creating organic forms.Smiley (fröhlich)
