hello,
i have problems defining a thickness from a form i have created thru the magic button in "family editor"/"conceptual mass editor" mode of revit architecture 2011.
also to basically create the form is hardship.
my suggestion for a new public floor in a site at palermo, italy - seem to create great challenges for the model generator inside revit, several of my tries have only delivered the sad message "unable to create form".
this is how i tried making it. with 3d polylines arranged parallell in plan and individually deviations in z-axis/height that together form a wavy surface i imagine should be construced from concrete shells.
i want to have the thickness up to 400 millimeters - but it does not seem possible..
2 questions:
- how to define or obtain a certain thickness on forms created thru the "create form"-button in revit conceptual mass editor?
- what are the limits of complexity on the modelling engine inside revit, should i learn myselves rhino/3ds max?
yours,
harald
