Problems with divided surface

[matasjanulionis]

Hello,

I have been trying to learn parametric modelling in Revit for my latest project, but there are three problems that I can not resolve on my own. Hope you can help.

1. When I apply adaptive components to my divided surface, some of them generate out of place by a couple of centimetres. I am trying to replicate bent wooden planks, so it is imperative that all the components are aligned. Is this some sort of bug or am I doing something wrong?

2. I need every plank to stay the same width throughout its length, while also retaining the same gap with adjacent planks. Is there a method to do that? 

3. It would be great to make transitions between different faces as seamless as possible. Is there any way to align the width and position of the components?

Post your Revit File. That would be best...and fastest.

Problem 1: This may be related to the way the adaptive points orientation. Edit the family >>> select the adaptive points >> try a different option for "Orients TO"

Problem 2: This depends on the divided surface. If the divisions have constant width and constant gap, the adaptive components will follow

Problem 3: Depends on the Surface complexity and the way the Adaptive components are set to orient to. Extreme Surfaces might require Patching...a technique which is tedious to achieve manually but can be very easy done using dynamo. You can lookup the package Synthesize Toolkit which has the nodes for doing that (not sure if Karam even added a runnable graph for that)

You may be encountering this issue:

If so, there is a workaround to "fix" it. Let us know.
