…. hi @Anonymous 

… I know how to create a spiral shape

…. but … no clue how to make it going around like that

…. maybe importing that shape from sketchup and applying some materials

 

... can you upload the model to take a look ?

Thank you but how to import and apply materials into a file coming from sketchup?

I can not upload the file, the extension is not allowed, but here is the sketchup warehouse link:

Got AutoCAD? Import into AutoCAD using "Import SKP File" Add-in, and then Import the DWG with SKP into Revit.  That's how we roll.

It is possible to do it natively in Revit...  Lots of reference planes and patience.  If I was doing it for a project though I would pass.

Repeater on a Divided Surface.  

 

@Anonymous :  If you are seriously interested in re-creating it in Revit as a parametric family, check out some of HyunWoo Kim's videos.  

 

Start with these two:

...or, just bring the SKP into Revit and call it a day.  Smiley Wink

... hi @Anonymous 

 

.... if it is for rendering from kind of far away I found a solution 🙂

... just make the spiral as showed in my previous post 

.... (just make it smaller... and with smaller segments)

... copy paste couple of times and rotate a couple of those

... it will not be precise... but who cares... will render perfectly for a kitchen faucet

... I will do it... I like the idea .... 

... will share it as soon as finished... 🙂

You can probably get some SKP or DWG directly from some manufacturer, then import the DWG in a RFA faucet family and load in your project.

This Auto Cad thing worked for me somehow. Although not the perfect one but, it did happen. Thanks!
