How To Approach Faceted Triangular Facade?

Hello , so I have a project where my building has a faceted facade , composed of triangles dragged to various directions , its a revisited  project.

The problem is the facade needs to have a thickness - either panels on interior exterior and a framing or by some sort of concrete pieces.

The problem is I cant make adequate walls from those faces.

i've tried wall by face , curtain system , adaptive components and I cant get the faces to be thick in a clean manner - they either intersect each other or leave gaps between them.

The best approach i've tried is 3 point adaptive components with points offseted by the horizontal plane - this way they all interconnect cleanly and adjust but then the thickness is non uniform with 0 in some places.

is this type of geometry even possible in revit?

couldn't do anything with it even in Grasshopper.

so how would you approach it?

*The building was made in rhino and then imported as mass using Rhino.Inside*

What about Dividing the Mass Surface and applying Pattern-Based Curtain Panels to it?  

 

Here a an example of a panel on a divided surface. Each panel can have varying thicknesses, controlled parametrically by changing the offset of value of each of the panel's four corners ("w", "x", "y", and "z").

unfortunately it would still form a seam between each face , the panel needs to be adapted to the neighboring face instead of being extruded by the normal of each face ,like it need to taper maybe inwards sort of.

Then make an undulating mass face, divide the surface and apply panels with a uniform thickness.  No?
