Having read that the sweep will not be cut by a gable end, how did you achieve the angled sweep cut on the gable end.

Ive tried placing a void on the wall at that point, but get the "no solid geometry to cut" error, and regardless of what I do with attaching to the roof or modifying the profile, i get the sweep running the full width and height of the wall.

Thanks,

edit; After reviewing your Nov 25 09 post, the log sweep is not wall sweep via the wall structure editor, but a massing sweep placed adjacent to the wall.

Im using this technique for a intensive rendering of lap siding. The default 8" horizontal render appearance really comes up short IMO. there is no relief to that other than implied by shadow. Would like to get some actual lap siding modelled rather than pasted on a flat wall via a render image.  Any one have any other tips?Edited on: Sun, Jan 23, 2011 at 9:51:15 PM

Except for very close views, we have found that texture files for lap siding work fine.  Not sure what you are using for your lap siding, I believe the horizontal one in the library is not bevel shiplap  and I used one that I loaded seperately.

 

You will find that modeling yous siding will take lots of time and overload your model, uless it is really small.

i tried following this just for fun but I don't get how you make a void in an in-place family. How do I assign it to a wall?

Now just use the "Cut geometry" tool , select the Void then select the obj(s). you want to cut.

WWHub,

 Thanks for the info but, how do you create an in-place family - void sweep that is assigned to cut the wall? Any way you could give a brief step by step on how to do that in Revit Arch 2011?

 THANKS!!

Yes, it is an in-place void sweep.  Read the very first post in the thread, it tells you how.

WWHub,

 The first post says "2. For each wall, do an in-place family - void sweep that is assigned to cut the wall," but it doesn't say how to do that. It just says to do it.

 Sorry if I'm being dense or if thats not the post you were referring to. I've learned the basics of Revit but nothing about void sweeps.

1. Create  a wall type that is as thick as your thickest walls and build your revit model.

2. For each wall, do an in-place family - void sweep that is assigned to cut the wall.  See attached profile. How? Please provide a step by step example of how one would apply a VOID sweep on a wall. I have no clue what you are talking about. I have used the Modify-Create void extrusion in the Architecture-Component pulldown menu area but cannot get the void sweep to be skeched in

3. Note that the sweep is taller than the wall and does both sides at the same time. What is the purpose behind that?

4. Edit the wall profile and insert doors and windows at any time.

5. Note that the profile can change for each "log" and that one wall can be 1/2 log spaced from the other wall at corners.
