the quickest way to edit 3D mass

[l.yong1]

Hi there,

Does anyone know the qucikest way to edit 3D mass form? I have 24 segments form. Need to edit the width, length and height? 24 different looks.

Please see attached screenshot.

Thanks Lilian

Why not upload it to see how it was modeled and what may be done with it

Hi RDAOU,

Thank you for your reply. 

I used Inplace mass, ref plane to create this form. There are 24 segments not indentical. Wonder anyway I could edite each of them faster? How about dynamo?

Model it as a family with instance dimension/angle parameters so that you can change them in project.

Thank you Toan. Can you please demonstrate an example?

There are several ways and yes dynamo is one if you wish to use dynamo. But I asked you to upload the family because I did not want to type too much. It would be easier and faster to demonstrate it in a GIF...And visual tutorials are easier to follow

There are loads of resources on how to create parametric families. Check out YouTube.

See attached 2022 file.

why am I being quoted?! 😆

Hi Toan,

Perfect. I think you understood my question. I created these 3D mass using my origami model.

I have shared a few of them with you. There are 24 segments. I need to adjust the height, width in a smart and effeicent way. Please see attached file.

Thank you. Have a great day😄

Hi Toan,

Can you please tell me which family template did you use? I used family generic model template but I cannot adjust the height, width, angle.

Thank you😎

Did you open the file attached?  I use Generic models family template but it doesn't really matter.  Most if not all family templates will work.

• To access the Conceptual Mass panel, go to the Massing & Site tab (In-Place Mass).
• Click OK after giving the in-place mass family a name. The conceptual design environment is displayed in the program window.
• Using the tools on the Draw panel, create the desired shapes.
• Click Finish Mass after you're done.

For deep learning of Revit Architecture, you should go through the Revit Architecture Training in which you can learn all the concepts from basics to advanced.

Thank you. You are amazing. Have a great day:)
