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.

thatk you for the great tuts,.. please can you tell me where I can if more such inspiring tuts
great stuff
wow, awesome
Thanks
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?
Thanks. That was great. Fun & informative.
Dave,
How can I get the curtain system above to wrap over a convex facade of a tower modelled using a solid revolve. For some reason, REVIT will not do that?
fantastic tutorial! thanks so much
Hi Dave,
I’m running into similar problems regarding “bowing” in sweeps. I’m working in 2010, but this tutorial is the closest I can find to addressing the problem - is there by any chance a follow-up tutorial? If not, do you have any wisdom to share? It would be much much appreciated.
@Alexis - Can you explain this a little better. Maybe post some images in the forum?
Hey where do we get the curtain_panel file from I cant find it in the general files in rev 2010

Hi Dave,
First off- Thank you for this website. I have been teaching Revit at 2 universities for a couple of years now. It seem like I am learning Revit along with the students because I cannot find a good text/source for inventive tutorials. This site has come the closest in terms of being creative with Revit concepts. Do you know of any workshops/events that could aid me in furthering my conceptual knowledge of Revit…..I’m tired of the same ‘ol-same ‘ol.
thanks again!
Thanks very much for these tutorials. The process that you showed for creating this panel is very useful. Do you know of this article by Rick Rundell called ‘BIM and Algorithmic Form Finding’?

I want to duplicate the spiral tower that he shows using formulas to determine the rotation of the floor elements. I was looking for a similar tutorial that goes into more detail. I believe that this would utilize a schedule to give each floor element the proper rotation parameter based on each element’s level. You mentioned using schedules for this purpose in your tutorial.
Thanks,
Randall
I like this tutorial very much! The diamond curtain panel isn’t stretching vertically, it’s in it’s original size the family. Can anyone help? I can send an image, my email is anhtrandesign@yahoo.com.
