Revit - Diamond Curtian Panels

4. November 2008, 4:30 Uhr_Tutorials - RevitDave

Over the next few weeks i will be promoting older posts back to the front page.  Since I originally made these videos, the traffic on DesignReform has increased significantly! (Thanks!) .  I re-posted the nested families  video last week and it generally went over well. I’m looking into new ways to format the site to it’s easier to find older videos.

Software : Revit Architecture
Category : 3d Modeling
Description : This is a tutorial i learned from watching Phil Read at Autodesk University. Using curtain panels in Revit we create an undulating hexagon panel that can be hosted by a curtain system. I cover adding parameters and well as using reference planes and picking work planes.

    Hey Dave, i followed all your steps on creating the curtain wall panels and i get to everything but the final step, and i click load into project off which it says it does, however i cannot locate it on the document anywhere.
    I am really interested exploring with different curtain panels etc. but if i cant load it into the project there is not much use.
    If u have any suggestions,
    Thanks for your help…..

    Hi Dave,

    First I really wanted to thank you for your all tutorials, They all wonderful.

    I have anly one question. I follow everything that you have done for creating “Hexagon Curtian Panels”. Everything works ok infamily part but after I load in to a blank project but somehow It doesn’t create Hexagon Curtian Panel. It is always creating its default Exterior glazing wall. I have tried to do that many times but I couldn’t find a solution.

    If you could give me some suggestions that would be great,

    Thank you very much

    Hi Dave again,

    I really don’t know what you have done for creating “Hexagon Curtian Panels” but mine doesn’t work. So I have some questions…

    1)Which template file did you select to create this Hexagon Curtian Panels?

    2)Did you do anything before you load the file into a new project?

    3)How does program recognize your new family as a wall type I mean “curtain wall: exterior glazing”? (this part I really don’t understand)

    Thanks

    You need to swap out the panel. if you hover over one panel and hit tab you can select one panel and switch it out. To make it part of the wall when you draw it you need to go into your Curtain system and make it the default panel.

    Hope that helps,

    Dave

    Hi Dave,

    I wanted to thank you. Now it works very well and I am very happy. I guess now I can sleep without thinking Revit :-))

    Thanks again.

    Have you ever heard of using Revit to draw and inspect the productivity of a solar PV system or a solar domestic hot water DHW system?
