Irregular Opening on double curved wall

image1.JPG

Does anyone know if there are easy ways to model the openings (shown in the image above) on a double curved wall?

This wall could be easily modelled by using model-in-place component. However the openings are hard.

 

I am after a way to directly model everything in revit since there are more details to be modelled later on.

Attached .sat file is a file made in rhino and can be imported into revit as a reference to this question.

It is pretty much easy. See example below

  1. Wall is a Slanted Basic wall with a 5 degree angle 
  2. Openings are a model in place Swept Blend Voids ... you can also model these in a loadable family

There are several other alternatives which depend on you Revit Skills and what/how you intend to use the element as well...example:

  1. Using a divided surface or a Mass + Adaptive component for the void
  2. Or using a simple mass cut by voids (See GIF below)

Thanks for your reply.

 

However some details are actually missed which is the hard part.

There is an angle at the opening, please refer to the blue lines in the image(plan view). This angle exists at the left, right and top sides of the opening.

I tried the way using the void cut however it is hard to control the size of the openings.

You can control that by controlling the profiles used in the swept blend. 

 

However, if you are finding it hard to tackle in Revit, you can keep it in Rhino and use the Rhino.Inside plugin. https://www.rhino3d.com/de/features/rhino-inside-revit/

It's hard to control the void size because of the details at the opening. (it would be easy if all edges are horizontal and perpendicular, but it's not).  It's easy to control the top and bottom profile of the void blend, but it's hard to control where the void cuts the wall and that's where I want to control the size. This is very easy on the straight wall because the top and bottom sides are actually the internal and external sides of the wall.
