Seamless Curtain Panel Pattern Base

[zakim]

Hello All,

I hope you can help in this. Is there away to have the curtain panel pattern based behave so that it closes these seams when applied to a Divided Surface? I know this works with the regular Revit curtain walls coz Revit treats them as mullions so it becomes seamless joints.

Thanks for your help

There is a pattern that can bend but it doesn't look like it is applicable here.  I would use an adaptive family with more adaptive points in order to bend the family to close the gaps.

Hi @ToanDN  - thanks for the information.

Would you be able to point to an example tutorial or steps for how to use the adaptive points?

Really appreciate it.

Are you after something like this?

Hi @barthbradley  - your example is similar to what I am trying to do. Any pointers?

Thanks

If that's what you are after, you can't get there with a Divided Surface or a Curtain Wall.  You can get there with a Basic Wall for the glazing, and a 3D Beam using the Pick Lines tool to select the edge of the glazing.

You can do that using any profile based elements...

1. Architecture >> Wall >>Wall: Sweep - See GIF 1 (Edit curtain wall type and set the Curtain Panels type to Basic Walls)
2. Architecture >> Floor >> Slab Edge - See GIF 2 (host on a model Line)
3. Architecture >> Roof >> Fascia or Gutter - See GIF 2 (host on a model Line)

Hello @RDAOU , thanks for posting those great GIFs and your efforts .. it is certainly a great workaround.

I think this workaround may apply on a small section/area of the building like a special façade feature.

The reasons I wish to modes it by using the Curtain Panels (preferably as pattern base family) is for proper tagging, documentation using native Revit category, etc. One would think that Revit divided surface can recognize the curve panels (just like in a regular curtain wall) and perform seamless panel joints.
