hello everyone...

 

i need to model a traditional cap-like structure whose drawing is attached herewith.

the bottom profile is an ellipse and the top profile is a circle which is tilted. if we see it in a cross section, their path is also an arc. It's a very challenging structure and i really dont know how to model it in REVIT.

family, massing??.... i have tried everything... It's one of the biggest challenge i have faced till now...

can anyone give it a try?

come on...let's resolve this...

thanks in advance.

the top circle is inclined and the bottom ellipse is flat. thus, sweep doesn't work.

Blend also doesn't happen as they are in two different angled work planes....

 

I tried it by blending in massing... but the cirlce blends with ellipse in a straight slope. in this case, it should be blending in an arc...

I would probably try using a void to cut your bottom revolve and set the upper revovle on that cut plane.
