Hi there,

In my current design I have a feature roof/wall/ground thing. It's pretty much a twisted block or multiple planks rotated around a central spine. However I need it to be one solid piece and not multiple little pieces. How would I do this in Revit? Or would I have to use 3DS Max and then intergrate it back in?

Any help hugely appreciated

CheersJack

I still don't have it. So I tried in 3ds Max but and not sure of its accuracy and how well it will import into Revit. Any more help? Not very good on the swept blend and those tools which seem quite essential to odd shapes and curves...

Hmmm

Hi Typhoon

 Thank you so much. Ended up exporting my model and making it in 3DS Max. It didn't work with the wall/roof by face due to the multiple segments within each polygon and whatnot...however it fits my needs fine.

 Thanks again, you will most likely see me around more with more questions.

Regards

Jack
