Louver Sun Shade

I am trying to find a family or how to create a horizontal louvered sun shade (awning style) that will attach to a curved wall. Everyone I have tried will not conform to the curves. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Revit has a sample louver family. Have you checked that one out? 

 

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2020\Samples\advanced_sample_family.rfa

 

What version of Revit do you have?

Ah! I missed the "curved wall" part.  Wall Sweeps will wrap around a curved wall. Maybe you can get with Wall Sweeps and/or In-Place Modeled Sweeps.
