Revit Curtain Wall

Step1:
Interior lighting

Section Rhino model, then transfer the lines with “dxf” format to Revit, use it to

built mass

build  curtain system

Step 2: Create Revit Curtain Wall family

Load Curtain Wall panel into a project

step 3:
Advanced parametric control of curtain wall panel

Difference between type parameter and instance parameter

Set up the relation between ( width) dimension and its shape (extrusion)

use the reporting parameter.

Complex Wall: from Maya to Revit

This tutorial covers how to transfer a Maya model to Revit as a curtain wall panel. The Maya geometry in Revit family is then pushed into Revit project and populate the wall / roof.

This is the second tutorial that covers how to transfer a Maya model to Revit as a curtain wall panel. The Maya geometry in Revit family is then pushed into the Revit project and populate the wall/roof. This tutorial covers how to create a continuous tile with family and how to apply materials in Revit.

Complex Roof: From Maya to Revit

This tutorial covers how to transfer a Maya model to Revit to take advantage of all the Revit features such as 2D documentation and annotation.

space frame: from Rhino to Maya

Here is a tutorial covers how to transfer a model from Rhino to Maya.
The difference between NURB and Polygon model is discussed, as well as the different file formats ( obj vs iges).

here is a similar approach to use obj. A rhino surface then is extruded in Maya to create the thickness.
