invisible node of custom pattern

NODE.jpg

Hello,

I would ask about creating NODE in the custom patterns.

This Revit model is vertical and curved wall but the wall has different height from left corner to right.

 

My goal:

               I would like to make curved wall with diagonal pattern as the above the building image.

 

My method:

               In order to achieve this image, I tired to apply adaptive component after I made custom pattern in the conceptual mass.

              

Problem:

               The node on the boundary is disappeared in conceptual mass after I changed the grid rotation angle in the pattern property,

               Every nodes were just find when the angle is 0°C,

               but the nodes on the boundary of the pattern has been disappeared after I changed the angle. (As the above Revit Modeling)

 

Question: Is there any way to create the nodes on the boundary of the pattern?

                or In revit,Is there any other way to create that kind of wall as the above building image?

 

Thanks.

Why not use a Curtain Wall with Horizontal Grids slightly askew? That's what the photo shows.

Nodes display just fine here.  Can you share your file?

 

By the way, you don't even need to turn on the Nodes if you use curtain or generic pattern based for the the surface.  Or create a Curtain system with rotated grid as @barthbradley mentioned works too.

I looked at your screenshot again and I realized you were referring to the nodes along the edges of the surface.  The only explanation is that when you rotate the U or V direction, the edges which are not rotated, don't belong to the UV grids anymore.

 

Still, my statement about using a curtain or genetic pattern based family or curtain system to populate the panels stands.  The only approach dependent to the nodes is using repetitive adaptive family, which may still work regardless (I need to test it).

 

Below is the test: repetitive adaptive family does not fill the border tiles, pattern base family does.

Yes you are right. Pattern based model works.

Thanks.
