Nonorthagonal triangular piece in Revit

[Anonymous]

Okay, so I'm an architecture student, and in my current design there is a piece that's very deconstructivist with sloping triangular shaped walls. I've tried multiple very different approaches, but nothing gives me both a triangular shaped wall and also the slope that I need. Is there a way to combine the both?

For a better understanding of what I am trying to achieve - it's very similar to Daniel Libeskind's Crystal that is in the Royal Ontario Museum. 

Thanks

Best is to model a conceptual mass and apply walls to it.

Have you tried a conceptual mass and wall by face?

It doesn't look too intimidating. I like the fact that it's angular, not free-form geometry.  Seems to me that you could accomplish it rather easily (said tongue-in-cheek) by shaping an in-place mass form and applying curtain system to it - all from within the project environment.  Looks like a fun project.  It'll look good in your portfolio too. Just to be safe though, throw in a couple of conventional-looking government or healthcare buildings too. That’s who's hiring architects right now. 

Cheers!

Thank you! Are there any video tutorials that I could use to learn how to do that?

Here's a fairly rudimentary example. There plenty of others available out there though -- just a Google keywords search away.
