How to Edit my in-place mass?

Anonymous

Hello,

 

I have this curved mass that I am going to make into a wall (using the wall-by-face tool) but I need about 1,000 square cut outs, along the surface of the wall, like 90 millimeter tiny windows.

 

I tried editing the mass to draw squares but I do not know how I would get the squares to curve around the wall face. I did try a sample square you can see in the picture, but when I made that face a wall, the square did not cut-out of the wall.

 

ALSO, when I try to make the wall-by-face and then try to edit the profile of the wall to make all of those square cut-outs, I cannot edit that face profile of the wall...

 

any ideas? Thanks.

If it's a normal vertical wall, why are  you making it by face? Why don't you make it by sketch as usual. Then use the wall opening tool to make one small square hole. Then copy that hole around wherever you want it in the wall.

How do you make a wall by sketch??? Are you saying I can draw the plan footprint of the curved wall then extrude it and edit the profile in elevation? How do I do that?

Woah! after a while of using Revit I never paid attention that you could make walls that way! I thought it was only the default straight line.. Thank you guys/girls
