Hey all,

First time posting so apologies in advance for any breaches of etiquette.  I am trying to model roof in the vein of Shigeru Ban's Pompidou:

http://www.e-architect.co.uk/france/pompidou-centre-metz

I am hoping to create a form similar to the image attached, and then use the parametric capabilities to model structural geometry similar to Ban's building.  The trouble is that I am not able to create the initial surface to then divide.

I have a swept blend mass created from two spline that forms the main roof form but I want that shape to come down and form 6 "vortex"-like columnar areas for support.  I have modelled it in Rhino and spent way too long trying to export/import but attached is an image of what I am looking to accomplish. 

Any workflow tips within the Revit Conceptual Mass environment or is there a way to make this more easily in Rhino or Max and import?

Thanks for your help!
