Parametric Blob Wall: How to make construction drawings?

[SamuelAB]

I know that Revit can rationalize a shape into many wall panels, but I am wondering what it the best way to make plans of all the components for fabricators?

I was thinking making individual assemblies with Plan views could work, but I was wondering if there were better methods out there. Assume that we would use flat pieces.

I was also curious to know if there is a way to make all the pieces exactly the same dimension, while going over a "blob".

Thank you!

I don't think Revit has any native algorithm to do that, assuming the wall is created based on a divided surface.  You may have to look at Dynamo, though I don't even know if something like that has existed yet.  There was some independent study from a Tech school in Switzerland and they developed an algorithm to rationalize and minimize the variations of pieces from a divided surface to reduce manufacturing cost.  There were formulas way over my comprehension but they might be useful in Dynamo.

Hi @ToanDN,

Would you have a link or remember the name of the independent study from the Tech school in Switzerland?

Thanks.

I couldn't find the original document but another one similar from Stanford U.
