mass modelling problem

[ZEICHEN.TRICK]

Hello folks,

I'm new to Revit and I really need to model a concrete sleeper. I've already come relatively far, but now I have to model the surfaces in the upper area of ​​the sleeper body and I don't know how to help myself with the Revit tools. How would you continue with my work status? I marked the problem areas red. Thanks for helping.

I'm not understanding the question. Is there one?  Are you asking how to cut the Mass to that red profile? Cut the Solid Mass with a Void Mass having that profile.

Thanks for your answer. Yes, there are many questions 🙂

The question is how to achieve the model according to the plan. Is there a way to get the red marked profile from the last post without cutting? And how can I fill the red marked area in the picture below?

Dunno. Post the RFA here so we can open it and see.

Thanks, here is the file.

I'm lost here. I'm look at your Mass right now and I don't get what it is you are trying to do.

Thanks for your help.

 

All I want to make is an exact model of the sleeper body shown in the drawing. If you compare my work status and the drawing you will see the areas that are not yet finished. This is what I'm trying to do but can't manage.

But maybe you can help me differently. If you need to create a model according to the drawing in Revit. How would you go about it? Also with the mass model tool.

can no one help me?

Here is a stab at it. I created it with a regular (non-adaptive) Generic Model family.

I know you wanted to model this using the massing tools (conceptual modeling environment) but I would stay away from the "Mass" category. That category is reserved for massing a building so that you can use the "By Face" commands to create walls, roofs and floors from the mass surfaces. It is not meant to model components like this.

Even using a Generic Model adaptive family would be overkill for this. Adaptive families lack the graphical control that regular families have. For example, you can't have symbolic lines or filled regions / masking regions to clean up the representation of the family in plan and section / elevation views. Lastly, adaptive families are much larger than their regular Revit family counterparts and will tend to slow down your model view regeneration.
