How To Design This Column Arch with Curvature?

I'm halfway with designing this column, except I'm having trouble with the curvature of the column archs. Can this only be done using a structural-based program? Would be awesome to design this in Revit. Could someone mimic this and lead me through the steps?

Hi @Anonymous

 

This Revit Structure tutorial shows how to place a slanted structural column in your architectural drawing and change the height and angle.

 

Meanwhile, while I do some testing on my own, let's throw out this open challenge to the community to mimic this design.

 

Regards,

@Anonymous Also check out this post HERE by @Alfredo_Medina

 

Some of the suggested tips are - design by sweep profile, beam by sketch process etc.

I created this with the 'blend' tool. Yet it seems curvature isn't an option.

Try modelling this with a conceptual mass.

Off the top of my head - I would split the triangle into half,

                                       model the column as a Sweep,

                                       constrain with parameters,

                                       nest into a structural framing family,

                                       associate parameters

                                       and mirror.

The beam would need to be a separate entity, because Revit does not like curves in two directions. Maybe a modeled in place Sweep going all around the building?

Here's an example of a conceptual mass.

It's not exactly how yours looks, but you'll get an idea of how it's modelled.

I think it can be done in 3 pieces, like this: 

  • one solid by sweep on the left, "A".
  • one (mirrored) solid by sweep on the right, "B".
  • one solid by blend at the bottom, "C".

For making "A", you need a path with the curves and angles, and a profile, something like this:

For making "C", you need to draw boundaries for bottom and top, something like this:

Then,  define category, material, load the family into a project, repeat it, add beams, etc...

@Kimtaurus can you give idiot-proof directions please?

1. Draw reference lines for the profile to sweep along.

2. Draw the profile on the reference plane that's at the end of the reference line.

3. Copy-mirror the sweep

4. Add voids to cut away the top and bottom to get horizontal endings.

@Kimtaurus - So the procedure is the same in the conceptual modeling environment?

For not to complex shapes it is similar

 

When the the sweep has more than 2 profiles, conceptual mass (or adaptive components) work better. You can add profiles to the mass/sweep and edit them individually.

Wow- this is an interesting thread! Thanks for the cool tips and illustrations @Alfredo_Medina@Sahay_R and @Kimtaurus

 

We will be having more open challenges for complex modeling and see how we can best use Revit tools to achieve this.
