How to make this Form

Using Revit's family I've made this form.
Its just open loops with Create Form applied.
The problem is that its created in parts so there is different panel sizes when its divided.
Also there is no defined loops, its just all Spline through points.

Help 
Can someone tell me how to do this in a better way, so that its created in a single Form.

I could provide some other references too.

Thank You.Screenshot (166).pngScreenshot (167).pngScreenshot (168).pngScreenshot (169).png

I think you did a pretty good job.  I would probably make it symmetrical.  That is, model one side and then mirror it to make the other side.  Just a thought.

You mean an even Division ? ...Something like this:

Yes that's actually what I want but the section is a bit different.Screenshot (170).pngScreenshot (171).png

Can you see in this picture what i mean?

Also should I use horizontal splines or radial vertical splines(as I've used in this)?

 

Its not perfect.

Actually I need to use this as my thesis project so it needs to be quite even and I can't do that with a single form but rather require multiple forms to join.

Does your thesis require it to be done in Revit or just to be done?

I made two screencasts showing two different possible methods to obtain something similar:

  • the first one is by using Lofts - one single piece of volume
  • the second by using Sweep Blend , made on half of the Form and then Mirrored (shown below)

the first method:

and the second one:

I doubt that the mirrored one will not be seamless in a complex surface division which I will need for later. But I need some time to try the single solid method because I need to tweak it a little bit(The lower part in your mass is just a single line so...)

 

And thank you for answering me so quickly.

It helped me a lot.

 

Thanks again.

I know I could use grasshopper or Dynamo but I need it for further subdivision and paneling and planning the whole complex which I need to do in Revit, hence I ask in Revit.

 

BTW if you could do it in any other software you are more than welcome to do it.

 

Thanks for your help.

In such case, you could do it as one piece in Rhino and import it in as Rhino or SAT file, divide the surface and do your paneling.

I was thinking of Grasshopper since I don't know Rhino.

 

But will it be used as a mass in Revit?
