Any idea how can I make this pattern in revit. I can controls the opening and all but aligning the grid is confusing.
It looks something like this. I just want a idea which curtain based family or any other family i can use to customise something like this.
Create a mass in you project, then select the face you want as your wall and divide the surface.
Then you can change the divided surface pattern to hexagon and adjust the spacing/layout.
In you situation you will want the V Grid to have a rotation so that the hexagons are slightly offset to the right.
Then you will need to make a custom "curtain panel pattern based family" which is set to the hexagon pattern and create your panel.
If you set it up correctly you will be able to get your hexagon shape to how you want.
This is what i thought first as well... its not possible actually because you cannot make a adaptive file with irregullar sides of hexagon and with regular hexagon the propblem is when you apply the pattern in roatated V grid the pattern gets distorted.
What I am doing is a long process. I have made a generic model giving all the parameters and then doing array in dynamo and randomizing the parameters. Only process I have trouble in is curved surfaces right now ( where wall is curved in plan basically ).
if there's a way to make this with Hexagonal pattern as well let me know. Pattern is not problem elements inside is. Thanks for your effort

There is nothing stopping you from adding additional points and ref planes within the hexagon panel family that stretches the hexagon by a specified amount.
The points in the image have the vertical workplane of the adaptive points as their host and then have a value set to the offset.
