HELP WITH THIS PANELIZATION

[lynsher]

Hi all:

I need to know, how to do this, as u may see, there are several joinings between panels, and besides i need to preserve the direction of the lines that are inside each panel. Finally i need to know the height and width of each panel, is it possible to get it using a conceptual mass?

if it is, how do i do it? and do i apply it to my walls. Please help

Note: I have already solved the aluminium framing but in this moment im stuck with this panelization!!!

Regarding your second question; use shared parameters in family to report Height and Width in project schedules. Regarding your first question; I don't understand what you're saying, and it's not clear from your picture.

Sorry, i meant separations when i said joinings. Sorry my mystake.

[barthbradley]

Okay, so swap out "separations" for "joinings". Still, what do you want to do exactly? 

[lynsher]

OK, ill explain you point by point and sorry for my delay i was thinking all night about how to make this possible.

* I need to make the panelization of this wall using this triangular patron. Notice that the triangles are not of the same size.

* Each triangle panel have lines on it, so each one has a sense as you can see on the picture.

I tried using courtain wall but im only able to make rectangular shapes.

So finally. How do i get this? should i use courtain wall or what should i use?

Regards.

The solution you choose should be based on the criteria of how accurate your physical 3D model must be.

Please watch the screencast video I just made for you...

Hello my friend:

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to help me. Even if i need a more detailed solutions your video just gave me lots of ideas of how to solve this problem. About the mullions i have already solved that issue. In the other hand, this forums need more people like you. (y) (y) (y)

If he uses curtain walls then a curtain panel schedule will report the size of each panel.  No need for additional parameters.

@ToanDN, I think you are on the wrong thread. I never mentioned curtain panels on this one. That was another thread. 

[ToanDN]

Did I say "If" in my statement?  You are familiar with If/Then condition formula, are you not?

[barthbradley]

Sorry, @ToanDN, don't get your panties in a knot. I was simply responding to your post to me in which you quoted me. I never spoke of curtain walls here, so understandably I was confused how that quote of mine related to your curtain wall comment. I did offer up Curtain Walls as a possible solution on another thread yesterday. You participated in that thread as well. That's why I connected the dots the way did. Understand, Buddy?

@barthbradley

I don't wear panties like you do so nothing got to a knot.  You don't need to concern.  I quoted you because you suggested an approach that is not needed IF the OP uses curtain walls and curtain panels for his panels.  Got it?  No?

[chrisplyler]

Anything you can model with regular family modeling tools can be modeled into a curtain wall panel.

Here is a panel made with swept cylinders...

The real trick is figuring out how to make it flex appropriately with changing panel size. Not a problem with a simple flat, continuous, rectangular panel. You simply align/lock the edges of an extrusion to the four perimeter reference planes. But it takes clever planning and fancy implementation to make something irregular that flexes properly.
