Splayed opening in Wall

[seth.193005]

Does anyone know how to create a splayed opening in a curved wall in Revit 08? Meaning an angle at all four sides of an opening in an arc wall. Been trying various options and am struggling!

Maybe use a void form that is a blend to cut the wall?

This solution covers the process you would use to accomplish this.

Thank you....... I will give it a try.

Unless you don't care that the top and bottom edges of the opening will look arched in elevation, I don't think the blend void idea will give you what you want.

See attached example of what I'm talking about.

You will have to create a special void sweep where the path will take in consideration the radius of the curved wall...

Right, the elevations look like the thumbnail you attached. I am unsure how to do the custom void sweep. Any pointers?

Thanks Andre,
I didn't think about the opening being arched. Of course, I don't think that it is a problem. It's because we are cutting a square hole in a curved surface. That's what it will look like in AR (Actual Reality) not just VR. ;)
