Vertical Louvres Screens

[hkeller]

Does anybody have or know how to create a vertical louvre screens, hopefully parametric?

Thanks

Like this?

Done with a curtain wall system, fixed horizontal spacing and either fixed spacing vertical or add grids as required. Use mullions for horizontal support structure and a custom panel family. I wouldn't do these as inplace families. All these timber lourves are parametric as types. So using family types we have set up a number of different angles which will be varied as required to control low afternoon sun while maintaining maximum open area.

Mr Spot uploaded a horizontal louvre screen here - you might be able to reverse engineer it or rotate (?)

thanks guys....i might have to do an in place family coz i cant rotate a horizontal parametric louvre i created previously....

Try to avoid inplace families. You'll get a more predictable and easily managed result taking a little extra time creating an external family. Create the lourve as a generic family or use a profile/sweep along with reference lines in the lourve family to make it parametric.

In the process of trying that now....let you guys know hot it goes

Nice one, Guy!....It's amazing how the Curtain Wall can be adapted....Between it and the flexibility of mass surfaces. Just about anything is possible with lateral thought.
