Hi there!
I am trying to create a sweep around angular geometry that tapers upward (see attached revit file for the form and approx. heights of the screens).
The overall form that the screen will follow was created through a swept blend, and I would like to wrap it in a screen that follows the form, a bit like this image of the Dulwich Picture Gallery, but where the screen actually turns the corner. The screens overlap eachother (a bit like weatherboards/roof tiles), but they open and close to allow light in or to create privacy.
I have used the Pick 3D Edges tool to obtain the angular form and offset the lines to the heights required, and then used those model lines as paths for the sweep, but at certain corners the sweep doesn't align with the 3D edges and pushes the profile out (as you can see in the revit file).
Am I going about modelling this correctly? I have tried Wall: Sweep through the Wall command but I couldn't pick the angled walls. I feel with either of the options above it is going to be very difficult to model the screen battens in the future/and to show some of the screen elements in the open position. I am aware that you can create screens/roof sheeting profiles using curtain walls (i.e. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwxRlRYrj34) would that be a good option to pursue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Would it not work to create the whole facade as one sweep, with the individual sections?
Alternatively, I think that I would have used sloped glazing for this, but it could also be done with railings set to the different levels.
I'd suggest creating Curtain Wall Systems from Mass Faces. Seems to me that it would be a whole lot easier, as well as a smarter BIM approach. But, maybe I'm misreading you.
Might be able to get there with a Divided Surface/Pattern-Based Panel as well.
Thanks for the suggestion, that sounds promising, can you provide the file for that screenshot? I haven't had much exposure to Divided Surface/Pattern-Based Panels in my studies and would love to understand how you made it.
How would you rotate the railing in the vertical axis in that case?
Thanks for the suggestion!
You can create a baluster family that already has the required angle. It can be quite simple if there's only one slope.
Thanks for the suggestions, it seems a Curtain System might be the go!
I have been looking into doing something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP9ufbDJ2mo so that I can model portions of the screen that are in the open mode, but I have two questions/issues.
1. How do I create this family so that it works in the segments of the Curtain systems at the edges where the panels will be triangular and not rectangular?
2. How do I model the screen within the frame (as opposed to rectangular glass)? I don't really need to model the frame at this stage, just the screen elements.
Thanks everyone
