Would you mind posting the massing family you used or the project itself?

How do you make it? It's like doing 3D array with a spiral path. Is it possible in Revit? very interesting. :)

No its not. Its actually an extremely simple family blend that i made adjustable with instance parameters and then just placed multiple instances on top of each other rotating as i went up... If i get time today i will post the family, but i warn you now its very unfascinating...

Okay here's the massing family i created...

Can't post the project as the building is actually 180metres tall and the file is 16MB fully purged...

If you can't figure out how it was done from the family just asked and i'll explain. ;)

Now that I have the family I understand how you did it. It really isn't that complex. I admire the creative but simplistic approach to the form you generated. Wish I had thought of it!
