Hi, I'm really fighting this one. The radial array radius parameter is knocking the deck trusses out of whack, i.e. not aligned to left/right and front/back reference planes. The out-of-whackness becomes more apparent as the deck truss radius offset parameter is increased. How do I get them aligned? Thank you.
I am envisioning the components at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° will be aligned with front/back and left/right axis. I wonder if the solid elements in the embedded Family are not constrained enough.
So it appears when the array is initially created/placed in hostfamily/project, respectively, the elements at 0°, 90°, 180°, & 270° are aligned. Then misalignment begins when the radial array is flexed.
Update (5-min later): it appears the embedded Family of the deck truss needs to have some "balance" about the left/right ref plane. If I draw an invisible symbolic line to align with the far right edge of the modelled solids, then mirror about the left/right ref plane, it will align like I am hoping.
It appears there is some centroidal assumption Revit applies when radial arraying, in this case the arrayed element center is slightly to the right of the left/right ref plane. I'll be...
Okay apparently I didn't do enough SnagIts to make my point smh
Where is the radial array creation process do you lock the element may I ask?
Not sure I understand you. But I just selected all the Model Groups making up your 6 element Array and Rotated it so that one of the Elements were Aligned precisely to the "Center" Ref. Plane. Bada Bing.
...and I flexed it afterwards by changing the "# Deck Trusses" parameter value (e.g. 6 to 12 to 24 -- so on and so forth).
