Revit :: How To Place Panels On Outside Of Building Along The Curve
Nov 25, 2013
I created a curtain panel family and loaded it into my project where I had created a mass and divided the surface, and changed the panels to be my curtain panel family i created. The mass has a curve that I want the panel to be on the inside of, but the panel is always placed on the outside. File is attached. So on the smaller curve on the north side of my building, the panels are placed on the inside of the building instead of the outside. How can I place the panels on the outside of the building along the curve?

I created a curved, sloped wall (it's actually a tower) using in place mass, model by face - wall. I need to place reveals in the wall to simulate ACM panels. I've tried using the reveal tool in the wall drop down but it won't allow a reveal to be placed in the custom wall.

This will be laughably simple for most readers, but I'm stuck and am at a loss.
I have a portion of my building in max that needs to be covered in metal panels. I'm good with creating a material to represent this. What I cannot find in ANY of materials is how to adjust the material's placement on each face so that I can make sure they align.
Currently the seams "jump" as they turn the corners, rather than wrapping continuously around. Way back when I took classes in this prog at one point we were able to select a specific FACE of a cube and then shift the material around to align the seams correctly (ie: without creating a UVW unwrap).
The "help" system in max acts as if this isn't even possible. Is my only option really to have to unwrap the textures, use photoshop to paint panels, and then reapply? Seriously?

I spent the morning with students working on Elements 11. Many of them are having trouble "docking" panels in the bin.
It used to be easy to drag a panel to a group and dock it there, when the blue line appeared.
I could not get a blue line to dock the histogram panel to her bin.

I want to subdivide my Revit building model including its components in many segments. These segments will be carried out one after another in the reality. How can I do that without need to subdivide every component (walls, ceilings....) ?

In Revit, how can I stretch a building in one direction, including all floors, in either plan or elevation? Let's say a wing of a 3-story building is 20' long, and I want to make it 24' long.
In ACAD, there is the stretch command that uses a fence.
Granted I would have to use stretch on each plan & elevation drawing, but all elements within the fence are sretched.
Do I have to move a grid, and hope that I've locked all walls on all floors to that grid so they move when the grid is moved?

Sometimes I'm unable to place a truss in my building. When I am able to get it in, it's never at the right height (either too high or too low). I've tried moving it in an elevation and section, but it will only move left and right, not up and down. My teacher said something about changing the view range, which I did.

Like in Autocad is there a way to put building elements onto layers to turn off and on when needed?

I've been added and removed specific mullions along curtain wall grid lines and now have the mullions where I want them. Unfortunately, some of the glass panels remain divided along the grid lines even though the mullions have been removed. Is there some way to join the two panels into one?

What's the best way to create tilt up concrete panels? In the screen grab bellow, I used an extrusion, gave it concrete material, and left a 10mm gap between each panel to create that illusion.
Can this be done as a wall, if so how do I add those gaps/voids?

I have a 3 story building. We are almost finished with design development. I need to raise the building's first floor which will cause all the other floors to change their level heights. I have been told that we need to fake in level markers because to change the level heights will cause all the information (for example dimensions) to disappear because they are 'tied' to the original level height. Is there a way to raise the building without loosing all the work that has been done?

I have multiple building pads in a model because I have multiple phases to represent. The problem I'm having is that the pads are cutting the topo surface in all phases. When I check the properties for each pads they all appear to bel properly identified as being created in the appropriate phase and yet there doesn't seem to be any way to turn off the building pad for future work in the existing conditions. See attached image.
I suppose the other possibility is that the pads are not really in the views, but the topo, having been excavated in one view,stays excavated in all views and won't fill in?
how to disable the pads where and when they're not needed? I've tried hiding the pad elements in the views, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

I need to model a building that cascades down a steep sloped hill. Should I create a toposurface first and then model onto that or should I make my model and then apply it to a toposurface?

I need to swap my level 1 and level 2 of my building's floorplans. What is the most efficient way to take the walls etc. from level two and place them on level 1, and take whats on level 1 and place them on level 2? I am swapping the floorplans.

I'm using Revit 2012.
know of a way to modify both Contour Lines (Topo) and the actual building in the same file?
i.e. without linking the file "topo" to the file "building"?

I am trying to export my floor plan to dwg file and I have curtain wall there which have panels as regular wall types. The problem is that exporting it will put those panels on the wall layer. I need them to be on curtain wall panel layer. I tried to use "Function" parameter in wall family by changing certain wall types to Retaining (since I don't use this parameter) and changed Wall/Retaining category layer to curtain panel in dwg export setup. But it seems it has no effect.I also noticed that walls inserted as panels into curtain wall do have a parameter under "Identity Data" with the name "Categorize as" where are two values - wall or panel. But this does not have any effect either since there is no category for it in export setup.

I have created a operable window to insert in a curtain wall system based on the "Window - Curtain Wall" family. I created a simple extrusion for the glazing panel and assigned it the subcategory of "Glass". When loaded in the project, the cut lines of this panel are a much heavier weight than mullions, other glass panels, etc. The lines are so thick, the double line just becomes a fat single line as they merge together. Adjacent glass panels don't have this line weight problem. I can find no override or other control/parameter that fixes this.

I am running Windows 8. I have used multiple .NET Framework removal/repair tools, tried uninstalling all versions of .NET and reinstalling 4.0 from its official Microsoft standalone installer. However, every time I try to install 4.0, I recieve a message stating that it or a higher version of .NET is already installed.
Upon further research, I was informed that the .NET 4.5 Framework is an integral part of Windows 8 that cannot be uninstalled.
I cannot access any of the tools I need to in the program, so it is basically rendered useless (don't tell me to just use shortcuts because that is extreemely tedious and painful to make work properly, ive tried it). I have also thought about just installing Revit 11' and using that, but it is no longer available from Autodesk!

I seems that SolidWorks Live Building is better than Revit, so I'm going to wait until Autodesk buys it and tell us to forget Revit, as they did with AutoArchitect S8 and more recently with ADT:

I have a highrise that steps inward in various areas. Since I model structural concrete, there are no window walls stopping my depth of view.
Is there an option where I can vary my depth in areas? I don't want to create more views. An option is to halftone the areas that are set and hide walls that are way in the interior, but this is very time consuming. In addition, if I halftone a slab, the slab portions that are not inset turn halftone too, then I have to fix the linework.

I'm trying to export Revit into Navisworks Simulate but there's no Navisworks tool in External tools. I did a full install of the Design Suite and checked Control Panel/ Programs/ Programs and Features for " autodesk navisworks simulate 2013 exporter plugins" but they're not installed. Are the plugins included in the Suite or do I download them from Autodesk?

I am participating in a architectural design draft, regarding renovation of an industrial building. The building is only uploaded in .DWG and .3DS, which presumably means it´s origanally drawn in Auto Cad. But when i link the DWG (ACAD) file to Revit, it treats it like a component making it impossible to edit walls, windows, making cross sections, floor plans, checking room heights etc. Is there anyway i can resolve this problem other than learning how to draw AutoCad better ?

How do you create an alternating curtain panel pattern in a hexagon divided surface curtain wall without individually selecting the panels?
I want the "rows" of hexagons to alternate between solid and void.

I'm trying to figure out a small problem I have with creating a Blob-like form. I've created a mass by creating a form out of six (two per level) reference lines. The Form comes out nice, but whenever I divide the form, the two created surfaces don't align with each other. Therefore, when I create curtain walls or patterns on this form, they don't match up either.
I have attached two images and a Conceptual massing file with the mass inside.

i have an office building designed in Revit and i want to put a Fascia around the top- it just will not work for me!the same to the roof- i want a flat roof, so i did a roof by extrusion and it asks me for workplanes etc?then it tells me this:Extrusion roof sketch must be open. The roof's thickness and material composition are defined in its type.
