Louver Door

[ricardo.o.maciel]

This took me a lot of effort, and I think it came out pretty nice.

I know it is too detailed for a normal project; I guess I was used to find every "family" (block) I needed for Autocad, and missed it.

The door has parameters to control the depth and slope of the louver blades, the number of blades, louver frame width and foot heighi, and the usual swing, height, width, trim width and trim projection. It is convenient for making short doors.

Those taking the time to dig in would find strange transcedental formulae; this was to overcome some Revit (mine?) limitations, specially regarding the alignment of parametrically sloping extrusions having parametric linear dimensions. I will be very happy to learn how to make that simpler.

Anyway, maybe the family can be useful...

I just realized that some people can use the louver panel family I made for the door as a basis for windows, etc.

Thanks for posting ricardo. May I suggest you add these to the download section of Revit? You'll find the link HERE.

[edit: It is not possible to upload families to our exchange yet, sorry]
