Hey there!

I'm trying to make one complicate facade and I need some pro help.

The whole thing is composed from different curved fins. Everything is curved in both vertical and horizontal direction. I've tried to make it from a mass, slatted with many voids, but Revit is going to explode. Finally, I've made a vertical texture in Revit and slatted the whole thing in 3ds Max. Now I have to do the same thing back in the original Revit model. Any ideas what is the best approach? Here is a picture of the idea.

P.S.: The back side of the vertical fins is flat and the front side is curved.

Thanks

This may give you some help figureing it out.

Is your question about how to MODEL this – or, how to graphically REPRESENT it? If the latter, you might explore a material appearance using a cutout. But you’ll need to decide on a single pattern to tile. From the look of it, there doesn’t appear to be one. If you are really thinking of modeling this façade – then I wish you the best of luck.  I can anticipate a lot of downstream problems associated with modeling it – including a big hit on performance. Lots of random curves are problematic – especially multi-planar curves.
