Hi everyone,
Could anyone help me with this problem I just can't seen to find a solution for? I've tried a lot of things but just can't seem to make it work how I want. I've attached an image (Adjustible Fillet.jpg) of the basic set-up I'm trying to achieve, and attached a copy of the Family too. It's not the actual family I'm trying to create, but if I can get a version of this family that works, I can apply the solution to the actual family I want.
Basically I have an extrusion (as part of a Generic Model) with an angled slope in an adjustable position with a radiused fillet applied to it. However, any change to the slopes position, it's angle or the radius either results in "constraints not satisfied", strange results (Fail 1.jpg) or (more frequently) both. What I want is for the model to hold together with all 4 variables (d1,d2,a1 and r1) being fully adjustible. Is this possible? It seems it should be, its not the most complex thing I've ever seen. But it seems it tries to resolve the variables in the wrong order most of the time (I'm not sure how Revit thinks, but that's the impression I get). What seems to happen most of the time is the radius adjusts first, tearing the lines from their reference planes.
As I said, I've tried a number of solutions to this problem, with offset reference planes etc, to try get around this issue but so far no success. So I've attached the most basic version of the set-up in the hope someone can provide some insperation.
Thanks,
Dale
