Curve roof pattern

[yanyan77]

i had a curve and slope roof in my builing.
could any one tell me how the pattern lines in the roof plan can be showed from the center and radiant.
i use model pattern.

you can ALIGN the pattern lines to your ref lines / centerlines. keep tabbing to select the correct pattern lines. each set of lines can be aligned separately.

i tried as you said it does not work

There was a post just today at the Revit clinic blog describing a way this could be done.

Model lines could be arrayed to create the look you are after.

i do not mean use model lines to do this, i mean the roof pattern .

Edit your roof material. Make sure you select "Model" Pattern Type for your surface pattern. Only then you can manipulate it. But in one of my projects. Surface pattern cannot be manipulate if the roof is curve in RAC 2009.

I don't think you CAN do this with a model pattern. (Someone can correct me if I am wrong). The patterns in Revit are not "aware" of the sape of the host and can't be altered to be radial in the way you would like it to be. That is why I suggested using model lines for these fan shapes.

thanks a lot, guys.
i guess i have to draw it by myself.

Sounds like a Wishlist item? I'll check if it is already posted;
if not I'll add to Wishlist.

This would be a great new tool--ability for patterns to adjust to host shape
and/or be manipulated by user.
