How do I model this facade cladding?

I want to model this corrugated acrylic glass cladding in revit as the exterior layer of a wall assembly.

 

How do I model it?

Hello,

 

This is a typical case for Dynamo.

Create the different claddings types as profiles connected to a sweeps in a cladding family.

Then you need a Dynamo script that divides the family types in a certain pattern over a line that you modeled along the wall.

Put this question also on the Dynamo forum.

Dynamo might be overkill for this. It looks like there are 3 "panels" and then they are placed randomly and flipped randomly. You can make a curtain panel of the 3 wavy forms and then place it into a curtain wall element.  I made this one as a test. I used 1 panel, but could have just as easily used 3. Mine came out looking close to what is needed.
