I’m going to be leading our free webinar tomorrow (Wednesday), talking about using formulas in Vasari families.
Register now! Wed, March 21, 2012 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM EST
Questions on this topic? Post them here.
Summary: Parameterizing a dimension? Easy. The fun really begins when you manipulate and even create geometry using formulas.
- Use basic Revit/Vasari formula syntax including conditionals, operators, rounding, and math constants such as sin, cosine and pi.
- Use some simple formulas to manipulate a parametric massing family to explore various permutations
- Reference parameters from a nested family in a formula
Edit: Let’s try something new. I’m going to do something like this tomorrow. You can watch ahead of time and then have questions for tomorrow.
It would be nice if someone at your end would publish an example tutorial before the meeting so that we can engage you with more substantial questions/comments during the meeting.

Hi Peter,
ReplyDeleteGood idea, let's try. Check out this video

This is what I was thinking about doing tomorrow
Hi Zach, would a recording of the webinar be available for those of us who can't make it to your session?
ReplyDeleteYes, we will have a video available later in the week.
ReplyDeleteHi Zach, I'm really appreciating you efforts in making things easy with us... And i would ask you if there's any links which explaining how to make forms like the one in the next link? (i mean the freeform pattern) http://static.ziftsolutions.com/clients/autodesk/assets/revit/images/revitarch_2012_visual_display_opt_1_large_1400x696.jpg
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks in advance.
Hi Ayman,
ReplyDeleteThe pattern in that image is actually just a manually drawn void that is subtracted from a wall by face. Good old fashioned hard work by Angela.
Hi Zach,
ReplyDeleteI was just trying to build this model in revit with the same formula, but when I start using "if" i am having an error saying "unexpected end of expression".
I am not sure what I am missing, Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
thanks

Ilkay,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you might be missing a parenthesis
yes! i actually realized right after I asked you:)
ReplyDeleteThanks,
ilkay
