i'm trying to make a as-Built model for a client, but i stumbled upon a problem.
The walls in this model have a skew in the horizontal plane. and in some places on the wall there are bumbs that don't go from start to end but are local. the client needs a precision around 5mm.
How was the wall measured in order to create an as-built plan. If your client needs an accuracy within 5mm, this will need to be surveyed. If you can obtain a point cloud model you can model it accurately.
We've inserted the pointcloud into revit and made the model from it. but the problem is that i don't know how to model it correcly and accurate. changing the wall profile doesn't work.
putting a sepperate object on the wall could ,may be, be a possibility. and building the wall from a mass form doesn't work
You can use all in-place modelling forms, you could make any wall shape you'd like. Not just a single profile extrusion, you can also join multiple extrusions/blends ie. and/or cut those with voids while in edit mode. Anyway, not sure if it's what you're after here but it should be possible to get there this way.
I think I had almost the same problem: I had to model an irregular wall and I used an in-place wall, which seems to work quite well. However, at the moment I'm struggling with its stratigraphy. I can't find out how to assign stratigraphy to an in-place wall. It should be made of bricks and plaster, but I can only give it one material.
You can assign several material parameters to multiple extrusions/sweeps/blends etc. Click the extrusion geometry, in properties next to material click the little box to associate new parameters (instance/type) for each material used.
Thank you for your fast reply!! That could work! Will it be interpreted as a layered wall? I mean, will its structural behaviour be the same of a built-in wall?
