How do I model more organic forms? I am trying to model this wall that is curvilinear in plan but, in elevation is not unifrom. One side of the wall goes up a certain distance. The other side angles up to another distance. The angle is not uniform either. I cannot figure out how to model this. If I draw a curved wall I am unable to alter it's profile. The sweep function doesn't work because things are shifting in too many directions. Any ideas? Help! I believe I am using Revit 9 or 2008. I cannot remember which one.

I think you are a bit Confused, "I believe I am using Revit 9 or 2008. I cannot remember which one. " (see image attached and check what version are you work), " I am trying to model this wall that is curvilinear in plan but, in elevation is not unifrom. One side of the wall goes up a certain distance. The other side angles up to another distance. The angle is not uniform either. I cannot figure out how to model this. If I draw a curved wall I am unable to alter it's profile. The sweep function doesn't work because things are shifting in too many directions. Any ideas?" can you put some screenshots about what are you trying to do???? (in plan, elevations, 3D views)

It was that I had one version of Revit at home, one at school, and one at work. Unfortunately, they are all different versions. Let's go with Revit 2009. I have attached 3 images from a SketchUp model.

Umm... I believe if you already have the Sketchup file, you can create that Sketchup file into Mass in Revit, and then you create building elements from that Mass... there's a tutorial to make Sketchup file into Mass in the tutorial... What I remember is, first you create a new family for mass, you import the Sketchup file, and save it. And then in Revit project, in massing tab in design bar, you select place mass. After that, you use the Wall by face to create your organic wall...

Hi, it's more or less like Vicozzio says, in Revit go to "Massing" (in left menu) then "create a mass", give a Name - (by default is Mass1) then go to "File-Import" and choose that model, finish the sketch and then in "Massing" you have "Wall by Face"....

I'm sorry I guess I am not being clear. I am trying to understand how I can model such a building without modeling it in SketchUp first. I want to start and finish with Revit only. I had to do SketchUp only because I couldn't get Revit to work for me. I'd like to understand how I can model irregular walls. The simple line tools are insufficient if you cannot edit the profile of a curvilinear wall.

Well, sometimes (and if you see my Gallery) I prefer to use external programs like "Rhino" (in your case you do that with Sketchup) to do "Complicated" things because it's more "Faster" and "Simple", like you said "I had to do SketchUp only because I couldn't get Revit to work for me", but the way to do that kind of "curved / slanted wall" is "CREATE IN PLACE", go to "Moddeling-Create" choose the family type (wall) and use solids/voids to do that...

You should be able to do what you want in Revit. The way to approach this is to use the massing tools to create the shapes. Try the swept blend tool and use voids to create the cut-outs. Once you have the mass shape these can be converted to walls.
