I was trying to follow a video on how to do the gherkin which requires a special frame family that when i input into my model makes it look like theres spikes. (Left is tutorial Right is Mine) please help me. The tutorial can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmNgjMpn7bk at around 11:20
while the tutorial doesnt.
Try a slight All Grid Rotation value and report back.
...seems to do the trick here. One side positive and the other side negative. Maybe you missed that part in the tutorial? I didn't watch it, so I don't know.
It comes down to how you create the curtain panel pattern based or adaptive panel family (not sure which one you use). The geometry of the sweep should stay inside the path so you don't get 'Metallica spikes' at extreme angles. See example below:
Another example using round profile and ball connector.
Revit 2022 conceptual mass family is attached with both panel types.
You did not follow the tutorial 100% :)... you have to bare in mind that the guy who created such tutorial is not really genius and it did not come out spontaneously. He rehearsed it several times to make sure that it works when he records and casts. Otherwise he would look like a Boss. After all, Pattern Base Panels are designed and modeled to fit a specific conditions
That being said, I have just noticed your other post on how to revolve the form...Notice the pointy tip of that form you have, and go back to that tutorial and watch carefully the end of the spline. Such pointy and acute angles cause the panel either to deform or to cause an error forcing you to delete it => the source of the spikes at the top. To mitigate that you have 2 options:
For the Panel...I have nothing against the square shaped profile and/or modeling both frame and glass in one pattern based panel, but personally I would use
Maestro... The form you have created is not the same as his (the guy from tutorial) ...SEE GIF BELOW...
Result: Identical
Match his inputs and your model will look IDENTICAL to his....EVEN THE SPIKES AT THE SECOND GRID FROM TOP which you can see at Frame 11:54 of that youtube (see screenshot below the gif taken from youtube and compare yourself). It is not rocket science

Piece of advice: look for better tutorials ... that one has been cut and edited several times and mimicking such tutorials wont really give you a good foundation for advanced modeling

Below is what I mean. Left is when a profile centered on the path, right is when a profile is inside the path.
If you insist on keeping the profile centered on that path, then create a frame from a segment of the path, not from the triangle, then place a 'connector' at each corner.
Both types are in the Revit file I shared yesterday.
