Niches/Recesses?

[seamea12]

Hi,

I am a beginer in Revit although I am quite experienced architect . Does anybody know how to create irregular recess in a generic wall? It should look like on attached file.

Regards

Hi Alfredo
First of all thanks for quick reply.I have done it according to your
advice but wall created in such w way can not be used to creat dormer
wall(attach top/base icon is not active).So what to do?

@seamea12: Looks like a concave arched recess. Here's a family I posted yesterday for another forum member's consideration.  It may also be helpful to you. It's a fully parametric concave arched passsgeway, but you could easily modify it to not cut all the way through the wall.

Hi Barthbradley,
Thanks a lot of for your help and family file.I have still problem with it
. The second part of my task is to put a door into this concave arched
recess.How to do it?

There are several ways to go about this. Depends on your comfort/skill level. The easiest way would probably be just to create two walls. In other words, create a wall to host your door, and another wall, in front of that wall, to host your concave arch wall opening.   

..I notice you're an architect. Great! Model it the same way it will be constructed in the field. You can visualize that, right?

If you needed a door, then that should have been the question.

You can create a door that cuts the door in that way. No need to do a model in-place void first to put a door afterwards.
