You can try to do with component model in place, or mass. Creating a cylinder extrusion and sculpting with voids.

If it is the same project there is also the possibility to import this already ready.

The other option would be to create something using Dynamo, adaptable families, but the programming would not be easy.

It's not going to be simple, and it is certainly not a process that can be "described" in a single forum post.  A book or a long video maybe.   

I would start off looking at some of HyunWoo Kim's work.  I'm seeing an application here for Spirals and Helixes.

how i can import the facade from sketch up to revit?

You can clean the SketchUp file to leave only the facade and then import it into Revit.
1 - Import menu
2 - Import CAD
3 - Choose File Types to SkecthUp Files (*.skp Files).

 

Note: If the SketchUp file is well organized by layers, you can only pull the leyer with the elements of the facade. but I find it difficult to happen.

You can also follow the steps of this video, it shows how to insert elements as a family.

Yes I got this now in revit. How can change its material Colour in revit.

[mauricio_mssf · Accepted solution]

Its good to know you got it.

As it is an imported object to configure the material, you needs to go in the Object Styles and change the material of the layers in imported Objects.
