adding text to a curved curtain wall ..

[j_starko]

IS this possible ?

the only way i can think about doing it is to make indivdual panels with the letters on there. but this would suck should the curtain wall change.


is there some unknown revit magic command that can do this ?

Are you talking about 3D / Model Text?


If so, just draw a plane for each angle and name each one. Then set your current work plane to one of the planes and use the model text tool. Then move to the next work plane and continue. If the design changes just align the work plane to the curtain wall and the text will follow.

Here is a curtain Panel family with model text which will follow the segmented arc. The family has got parameters to change the text height; text depth; Text; Offset from grid and text finish per panel. All instance parameters.

You can also use model text in a generic model family, just make it workplane based, then you can just place letters where you want them, and edit the text for each letter or group of letters.

another revit roblem fixed and something new learned :D

I was hoping there was some feature where you could have a curved work plan . That would make centering the company name easier on the panel. .

Zeds , I'm using that family you posted . Thanks .
