Hello. My name is Milos and I'm architect from Serbia, who is also a newbie user of Revit Architecture. Frankly speaking, in begining i was reluctant to switch from drafting in AutoCAD to modeling in Revit cause i always thought that computer can't draw details (callouts) in Revit like i can do in AutoCAD by myself. But since i realized how much time i save by letting computer draw sections, elevations i became a fan of Revit. And there's that other thing - i had an ultimatum from boss to start using either Archicad or Revit "cause we had to move to 21st century) even though he still gives me ideas on a4 paper and draws everything in one layer in AutoCAD ![Smile](/images/smiles/smile.gif) But let's get to the point - I'm working on a residential building project in which i would like to incorporate some kind of wavy, aluminium or pre-oxidized copper panel, facade very similar to the wavy facade seen on the Toyo Ito's Hotel Avenue in Barcelona ( http://metalldesign.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/suites-avenue-hotel_barcelona.jpg  . Since i'm newbie i thought first i could model it in place with profile and then extrude it verticaly, But i get a solid cube-like body instead of ribbon which i could later edit with some holes etc... How would you make something like that wavy facade? Thanks in advance Sincerelly Milos

You can try to use "In-place family" or "mass" (use the help file "F1" button - you'll be surprise how helpful they are) Either one of these can create a very unique shapes like the wavy facade you want. Play around with massing and in-place family by using extrusion, sweep blend, revolve, etc.
