When comes to the regular shaped panel(rectangular shape), the coustermerized family replaced the system panel easily, but when comes to the irregular shaped panel(mainly exist at the edges of the curtainwall, where the panel is no longer a rectangular), Revit refused to replace the system panel with the panel I modeled. Is there any way to solve this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158628382296237604.post-14118020341963001432009-11-22T15:17:19.736-05:002009-11-22T15:17:19.736-05:00Zach,could you please send to my e-mail elena-m...Zach,could you please send to my e-mail elena-marhi@yandex.ru the file "Limiting panel size".

I've seen some other questions in the past about sweeping mullions across the whole form and it seems like this is probably a whole post for an answer. zachkron@gmail.comZach Kronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12789983116042927745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158628382296237604.post-89452153420525502302009-08-05T08:30:50.365-04:002009-08-05T08:30:50.365-04:00im assuming by "unpatterned" you're ...im assuming by "unpatterned" you're referring to the "no-pattern" type option for a divided surface? how would I go about applying a form to flow across the splines created by this 'no-patterned' surface since there's not a 'no-patterned' type in curtain panel patterned based family creator?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04638769373153740390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158628382296237604.post-43195186169276582762009-08-04T22:01:48.120-04:002009-08-04T22:01:48.120-04:00Well, the short answer is that panels and patterns...Well, the short answer is that panels and patterns in the divided surface just connect points to points. This is different from the "unpatterned" divided surface which actually still describes the curvature between points.Zach Kronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12789983116042927745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158628382296237604.post-62485719417273774132009-08-04T14:05:38.604-04:002009-08-04T14:05:38.604-04:00thank you, I think I understand that issue now
I ...thank you, I think I understand that issue now<br /><br />I hope you dont mind me using this as a discussion for this type of modeling in revit but I have another question: Lets say I have a surface thats a loft of irregular splines. The divided surface I have is 10ish U curves running in the cross-section direction, and one in the V curve in the perpendicular. I build a curtain panel of a 2'x2' crossection that I sweep along one of the U pattern-edges. But when I bring it into the project and apply to the irregularly shaped divided surface it doesn't follow the splines, it just shoots straight across as if its trying to facet. is there a way around this? basically a curtain mullion that follows organically along a spline? <br /><br />sorry if this is confusing!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04638769373153740390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158628382296237604.post-27342620840121524342009-08-03T21:49:53.692-04:002009-08-03T21:49:53.692-04:00Hi Alex,

If this isn't the case, please send me the file so I can take a look.<br />thanks!Zach Kronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12789983116042927745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158628382296237604.post-66447942151598203252009-08-03T21:32:19.536-04:002009-08-03T21:32:19.536-04:00hi, this is a stupid/semi-unrelated question.

I've just started playing around with revit for form making and havent been able to make a divided surface, like the one you have in your third thumbnail. I can make that shape, the issue is when I go to apply a divided surface its more of a cookie-cutter like cut out of a rigid grid. that is, the divided surface doesnt follw the deformation of the shape (aka same number of Us and Vs from top to bottom and side to side). Any suggestions? thanks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04638769373153740390noreply@blogger.com
