How do you draw a curved wall in Revit 2011?

[Nymph]

Hi everybody! I'm still a Revit newbie, so my question may sound silly, but I really need your help!

I'm trying to draw the art school in Singapore. I somewhat figured out to draw everything, except for the curved walls! :cry:

Here's an image of what I'm trying to draw:

Can someone please tell me how to create a curved wall on Revit Architecture 2011? Or lead me to a tutorial online that gives this method? Because I'm abit lost. I couldn't find any tutorial related to my problem. Or is Revit Architecture 2011 made to create straight objects only?

Please help! Any tip will be highly appreciated. <3 All I'm looking for is a simple way to create a curved wall in Revit Architecture 2011.


Thanks guys,

You can draw the curve of the wall in plan view with detail lines. Then before placing the wall choose "pick lines" method of placing the wall. Pick the curved detail line and your wall will be curved.

Curved in plan is easy, you can choose from the many different arc and circle tools while laying out the wall.

Curved in elevation is easy, IF your walls are straight, but they are not.

This will require some more advanced techniques. To model the building in your link, I would create a Mass object in the shape of the overall volume, and then use Wall by face and Floor by face to create the curved surfaces. Modelling the Mass object will require several solids and voids to cut them into the right shape.

Don't forget about the tangent arc tool when drawing arc'd walls, its awesome.
