Hi.
Is it possible to make windows to fit the corner in this sloped glazing.?
Sloped glazing advanced windows problem
If this can not be done by Edit Type settings , you cand do it manualy:
- Click on roof...you will see in center of every slope smal sign with a cross inside into a rectangle -Configure Grid Layout ...click on it
- Now you can select indicvidual curain grids...click on one of it....it is pinned...click on the pin symbol to unpin it...
- Now you can move the grid in the desired position

Then Indead Adaptative points is suited:
- Create New Family > Metric Curtain Panel Patern Based template
- make a sweep for the frame and an extrude for the glass, all on the adaptative frame
- save and load into your project
- drag it from families (Properties) into your drawing and click one by one the for corners of the cell into wich you want to insert the new created window

Indeed yo haven't ...Revit "knows well what to do"
- Put a Reference point on one of the Reference lines ...
- Select that point....a reference plane will show (perpendicular on the Reference line)
- Draw the profile of your window frame on the perpendicular plane
- select the profile you have drawn and with CTRL pushed, select the chained reference lines
- Create Form - Revit will know now that you want to make a sweep
- For the extrusion you select a closed shape and > Create Form...Revit will make an extrusion

Thanks alot, but it comes out whit an odd shape when I try to place the points in the project. Its like the frame is inside out and I kan only choose 4 points, there is 5 in most of the windows.
As you can see the shape is flipped from what I have drawed.
The above is an image of the original window family - not the adoptive one 🙂
Adaptative points can be made not only wit 4 points...but you have to make it in slightly diferent manner (now you don;t use prefabricated style)
- New Family > Metric Templates (for me is metric) > Conceptual Mass > Metric Adaptative Component
- Draw >Reference> Point Element - Draw on the base plane 5 or how many points you want in order (clockwise or counterclockwise)
- Select all the points you have drawn and from : Adaptative Component > Make Adaptive ...you" see a change ..each one will have a number
- Conect the points in order with a chained of Reference Lines
- Now, the way is the same as in the previous post...we a have a pentagon or any other polygon.....

I made 5 points and loaded the family into the project, when I mark the 5 corners I get this shape.
What is it that im doing wrong?
Accepted solution
did you use 3d snap when you made the family...and Place on Face when inserted in project?
