How to model a Chesterrfield Tub chair in Revit for my interior designer friend.

Hi, 
I'm trying to create a Chesterfield Tub Chair. I've tried to recreate the organic lumps and bumps of a chesterfield using the Generic Model Adaptive family but can't load it into a metric furniture family obviously!
I've also tried loading a Generic Model Adaptive family it into a concept Mass model but I cant use void extrusion.

I've played with Generic model pattern based but haven't had any luck.

I'm at loss on how to do this. Or is Revit not able? Am I wasting my time?
Please excuse me if I'm not clear, refer to pictures attached. I've posted on other forums but no response.
Thanks Dean

Do you model it for fun or need it for work? If the latter, you maybe able to find one from Herman Miller or Knoll or some other sites. If the former, you can reverse engineer a similar one from a site above and see how it was done.

Revit is used for building design and less usable for individual furniture components. When making things like furniture we tend to make simplified versions of that. Tools for more organic shapes are limited in Revit. Further you tend not to want high poly models as they will impact performance.

For highly detailed models you normally will use other software (e.g 3DS Max). In some occasions you might consider modelling it in other software and then import it into Revit

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

...how about an ottoman?

But, as mentioned, there is a high likelihood that you can find something online with a simple keyword search.

Use 3DS Max. Keep it in 3DS Max, do not bring it in Revit.

 

Why do you need such a complex piece of furniture? If it's for rendering, then create it in 3DS Max and render the Revit model in 3DS Max.

 

For interior furniture layout in Revit - simplify the geometry in a Revit family (ie model the chair as a solid without the lovely pleats, creases, and buttons) - save the complex chair for rendering purposes only. That complexity will just make Revit (and you) cry!

 

Revit's mommy did not bring it up to create Chesterfields. Jus' sayin'.

He seems to be oddly quite recently...  too busy with the rendering deal posted a few weeks ago here perhaps?
